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

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. . .)
