December Means. . .

Well, for the guild, it means an annual Charity Kick-Off event! At our meeting next week, Judith will be collecting even more scarves for SOS and will be delighting us with new bags-o-goodies to create for this year's charity focus. Bring a variety of knitting needles so you can have just the right size to cast on next Tuesday. (Or, just bring your current project. . .we're flexible!)

For me, it means knitting like a mad woman to make all of the gifts and random things I feel I MUST have completed for the holidays. . .

I've joined a yarn swap on Ravelry. . .am too excited to see what my secret Santa sends me. . .and am thinking of sending some hand spun yarn to spoil my Santa with.

Always interested in getting hand made items in the mail, I was lucky enough to be the first to sign up for the Pay It Forward exchange hosted by another Ravelry junkie. So, I'll be getting a fantastic surprise in the mail soon. Here's the catch. I need to pay it forward. Want a super duper hand made gift? Be one of the first three to leave a comment, with a commitment to posting somewhere (even if it's the bulletin board at work) and sending 3 gifts to others, and you could be the lucky winner of something fabulous!

c'mon. . .post a comment. Send some gifts. Get a surprise in the mail!

Meanwhile, see you at the Coffee Beanery!

Count me in! I saw this on Ravelry and rushed right over -- I LOVE PIF "swaps", they are just so fun to do! I've done a few over the last few years and I've really enjoyed them a lot!

(BTW, Blogger won't let me sign in to my account, so I hope this posts!)

Well done, that was a quick sign up for your three. I love this idea - it is right in my spirit. Good luck picking your projects. :)

Janurary Meeting and Announcements

New Meeting Location! effective immediately for our Tuesday Jan 8, 2007 Meeting I feel like we've been in a sweat lodge for the last few months meeting at the Community Center. . .in response to all of the hot flashes and personal fans brought to the meetings, we've chosen a new (and cooler)location. Meetings will now be held at: Fifth Third Bank 1833 Coolidge Berkley, MI 48072 The bank is located on Coolidge near 11 mile. . .on the West side of the road. Great, well lit parking, comfy chairs and no jazzercise music playing during the meeting! The meeting agenda will include learning a new cast on and bind off--bring worsted weight yarn in two colors, and needles to match, as well as info about Knit Michigan (see Judith's post below), our upcoming Retreat at Hankered Inn (you may want to bring your checkbook so you can leave a deposit to reserve your space as they are limited). The retreat is planned for the weekend of April 25-27, check your calendars and save the date...

BSKG 1st Guest Post

Posted by Kim Whelan  "copyright Geneve Hoffman Photography" I have this friend; maybe you have one like her? She’s the kind of friend that has all these crazy, great ideas, and somehow, before you know it, you’re smack dab in the middle of something! This friend is the reason that I found myself starting a knitting guild (BSKG) with her a few years ago and found myself president of said guild a few years later. She is also the reason that I started designing patterns. I was just drifting along, calmly knitting away when she said “write a pattern, challenge yourself” That is how I came to write my very first pattern “Etta” which appeared in Lace One Skein Wonders . Now writing a pattern didn’t come easy, there were many mistakes along the way, but I stuck with it and finally I had a pattern I was proud to publish on Ravelry. After that first pattern I wrote a few more that I was lucky enough to have printed in some local publications. But that friend of mine, ...

"Speed Knitting"

Ever seen anyone knit so fast they needed a helmet to protect themselves? Or maybe, the helmet is to protect themselves from the head bashing you do when you've made a REALLY big mistake and need to frog. . . A skein of sock yarn is waiting for the person with the most witty (in my opinion) caption for this pix. Make a comment and I'll choose the winner next Thursday when I come home from the UP. Thanks to Coralee for the picture! (oh how I wonder what sort of crazy pictures of me she may have stored on her camera. . .)
