For those who missed the May meeting at the Coffee Beanery, you missed out on a great time! The food was yummy, the people delightful, the bags wonderful [both our BSKG bags and Sneaky Sheep bags].

A special thank you goes to Greg for his hard work and for the lovely fruit *arrangement* he gave us as a gift.

After dinner and talk it was time for the Sneaky Sheep exchange. We were all in awe at the creativity shown.....knit bags, felted bags, sewn bags, quilted bags. Some were purses, some knitting bags, some shopping bags. Even Greg was amazed. If you didn't take part, there's always next time [I'd like a new bag every 6 months, thank you].

Then came swap/barter time.... it looked like a yarn shop in the C.B.! Nobody really explained I'd be going home with much more than I came with. At the end of the fun packed evening you heard "I really don't want to take it home...please take it" a lot.

Camille and Joanie took pictures of all the bags so we should have pictures soon.

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,
