Thank you from Judith to all who signed up and volunteered time in the Knit Michigan learn to knit room. The area was larger this year and there were a lot of people to teach knitting and crocheting. There were more vendors this year and the silent auction had lots of items, from yarn to books to finished garments. City Knits from Grand Rapids had Yarn Hollow, Black Sheep Forever, our very own Kim W. creation. The program last night was embellishments. Linda Dean presented crochet embellishments, Suzanne Jones taught needlefelting, Stacey Totzke taught beading and Nancy Brown presented thrums. Our members are very talented and willing to share! In addition, Judith collected premie hats and blankets from Black Sheep to be delivered to Providence Hospital.

Don't forget! We meet Tuesday, February 10 , from 7 to 9 pm at St. Columban Church. Doors open at 6:30 p.m . Use this extra half hour to arrive and sign in, buy raffle tickets, socialize and catch up with your friends before the meeting begins at 7 p.m. Embellishments is the program for the evening. We have invited guild members to present a knitting or crochet skill or embellishment that can be taught in 15 minutes. A number of learning stations will be set up around the room. Members who wish to participate will gather at a particular station, learn the skill presented and then move to the next station. It will be a fun evening, with great skills being shared by the following BSKG members: 1. Crochet embellishment presented by Linda Dean 2. Needlefelting presented by Suzanne Jones 3. Beading presented by Stacey Totzke 4. Thrums presented by Nancy Brown This is a demo only evening, so come prepared to watch, learn and enjoy! No supplies necessary. Happy Birthday to our Februar...
