Black Sheep Knitting Guild

The meeting last week was a busy one! Joellen Smith taught us *Yoga for Knitters* which should help us all to relax. Then we had a brief visit from Dolores the sheep, who is out on the campaign trail. She is hoping for support from knitters all across the country in her bid for the Presidency.
