Sneaky Sheep Swap version 2 (s3.2)

Last night we debuted this year's secret pal swap. For those of you who couldn't make it, we'll be exchanging a gift made with one skein of yarn store quality yarn. Choose a skein that you'd love to have something made out of, and make something for another black sheep!

As we did last year, we'll be exchanging names anonymously using the www.elfster.com website. To sign up for the swap, just follow this link and complete the form! If you were part of the swap last year (or part of another swap that used the website) all of the questions you've been asked in the past (as well as your answers) will still appear in your profile. Feel free to use them or delete them as you see fit.

Don't be shy about asking questions--you may want to ask questions of people you may not be swapping with, just to stir things up a bit! That makes it even more fun! Or, ask random questions that you were just wondering. . .maybe you've been dying to know what shampoo that sneaky sheep next to you has been using. . .her hair is just so bouncy! :-)

Have fun. . .and remember, sign ups close on Jan 31, and the one skein projects will be exchanged at our April meeting. I can't wait to see how creative all of our members will be!

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,
