No WiFi at the Inn


More later, I promise! But since I've only been home 15 minutes and am missing the retreat already, I thought I'd post some pictures for those of you who missed out.
It was a serious weekend. We forced folks to get their pictures taken. . .especially Suzanne.


Lots of beautiful yarn was dyed. . .and I mean LOTS!!!

Oh yeah, and we laughed!

I tried last night to leave a comment, but it didn't work. Let's see if it will now.

Anyway, I was happy and not really too surprised to see that Tanya put up some of the retreat pictures so soon after getting home last night. Let me tell you folks, this was nothing short of a blast! We had so much fun and learned so much. I'm gazing as often as I can at my own hand-dyed yarn and thinking of everyone else's yarn I saw. What a multitude of lovely, lovely colors.

Thank you again to all the BSKG'ers who made this past weekend possible. It was really incredible.

By the way, how come I only count 19 of us in the group picture? Who's missing?

I think Judith was on Stacey's right--she seems to be cut off. Tanya, did it happen in posting or did Janet chop the photo?

It was wonderful! I want to see everyone's yarn again--maybe we should do a little display at the May meeting...

I had a fabulous time at the retreat. It was great to spend all that time with fiber people. Even when winding yarn there was a group helping. The Inn was a great space and it was nice to only be responsible for me for a change. Any time I don't have to cook or do dishes is good. I was not disappointed in anything. Kate, Tanya and Kim did a wonderful job. Organizing, planning and all the treats what an effort. I would have liked one more day or maybe that wouldn't be enough. Can't wait for next year. Thank you for everything Black Sheepers, 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,
