What a great meeting last night! If you missed it, Ann W from the Knitting Room gave a talk on the history of knitting, and we got to see everyone's current projects.

Also, we started to plan for the May swap and sale. If you weren't with us last year, we had a great time, so start to clean out your stash and get ready to haggle, barter and swap! If you don't reduce your stash, at least you'll change the way it looks! Some had an easy time selling off some of their stash as well, we'll leave that and the pricing up to you.

If you'd like to have dinner with us before hand, the cost is $10 for non-members and if you're up to date on your dues and a member in good standing, the cost is only $5. Please send an email to blacksheepnewsletter at hotmail.com if you're interested in coming so that we can have an accurate head count and the proper amount of food. Payment would be appreciated by next week, but certainly reserve your spot ASAP!

Last night marked the last meeting at the Fifth Third bank--we've outgrown yet another location! The May meeting will be held at the Coffee Beanery, and we'll reveal our new location for the fall then! (Lots of good lighting, clean, comfortable and cheap! Who could ask for more?)

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...

"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. . .)

Hello all. This is the job I won playing *secretarial poker* this evening. If you have anything you want to share, let me know. As my first official act I am reminding Margie T. & Suzanne J. that they signed up to provide raffle items for the March meeting. Mary P. and Nancy B. will be providing snacks. A question of vital importance: does anyone have a button maker? Know of one available for guild use? Inquiring secretaries want to know. March is a busy birthday month! We know of Judith, Linda D., Suzanne, Kim W. & Camille. Anyone else? Tanya has an important question for you all. More news next time. Linda F. ETA--Check the sidebar! --t
