Chemo caps

Happy New Year. Now the holidays are over. I got cleaned out. All hats, mitts, dishcloths and scarves. Gone. I don't owe any Christmas presents. So that's good.
A good time to assess the stash, find out you have plenty and get knitting. Starting with chemo caps and THE baby blanket. Am I the only one who always has a baby blanket going?
Madame President has thrown down a challenge. 100 chemo caps by Knit Michigan. Long pause. I say we can do it. We knitted and donated 125 scarves in 2007. The Knit Michigan website states 200 chemo caps were donated last year. Our goal is half of that. We are awesome.
We have a need for more volunteers to work the Learn to Knit Room. You may not have to teach anyone a thing, it could just be a chance to sit and knit. Go to market. Shop. Have lunch. Spend the day with knitters, knitting.
If you have questions about your chemo cap or a pattern to share, Tuesday Jan 8, will be our last guild meeting before Knit Michigan. I will still be collecting scarves for SOS. I have knit 5. See you soon, Judith

March Guild Meeting with Melynda Bernardi

Our guest speaker,  Melynda Bernardi of French Press  Knits, was wonderful! She shared about her background as a knitter, how the name French Press Knits was chosen,  how she started by selling felted slippers and progressed in to writing patterns. Her work is beautiful and she brought several samples to share. Melynda graciously offered a discount on her online patterns for the month of March for our guild members!

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,
