Black Sheep Knitting Guild

Chris has saved the day with more pictures from S3.2!! Besides the fun S3.2 swap that was the focus of the meeting we had another great round of raffle items. Big thanks to Sharon H., Linda L. and Laurie G. for the donated items. Kelly also brought an item donated by City Knits--what a wonderful surprise! 15 items in all were raffled off, including a special raffle item—a beautiful new Jordan Paige knitting bag donated by Sharon. It's hard to decide if that or the thongs were the best items in the raffle! • • • • • Remember, the May meeting is our annual dinner. RSVPs are being taken until Tuesday, April 28. The dinner will be at St. Columban, and is being catered by Panera. $10 per person. Also the May meeting is the swap...bring your unwanted yarn, notions, books...and barter, bargain and be ready to trade. We will also have a few silent auction items that will be up for bidding...you'll want to bring some money for that so you don't miss out.

Tuesday's Sneaky Sheep Swap was beyond wonderful! I wish I could post pictures of all the beautiful items we were treated to, but my camera pooped out. Everything was beautiful... and created so thoughtfully. Colors were selected with care, patterns were examined & tested, thought given to what the recipient likes. It was a special night. If, for any reason, you didn't RSVP to the May dinner, please let us know right away so you can be included.

The April meeting focus is the S3.2 Exchange! Join in the fun of oohh-ing and aahh-ing as guild members who participated in this year’s one-skein swap exchange their creations. I am excited to see the finished items! - - - - A little more excitment for the meeting: this year we chose a wonderful item to be the official BSKG logo item (thanks Tanya for the great find!) DON’T MISS OUT—Preorder at the April guild meeting! Our new Black Sheep Knitting Guild folding chair features the logo emblazoned on the backrest of a bright green chair. Only $25 each. Orders will be taken at the April guild meeting and for the remainder of that week. Delivery will be at the May guild meeting. Payment is due upon delivery.

Don't forget ~ BSKG meets next Tuesday, April 14 , from 7 to 9 pm at St. Columban Church. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Use this half hour to sign in, buy raffle tickets, and sign up for *show & share* before the meeting begins at 7 p.m. Be sure to RSVP at the meeting for the annual BSKG Member Dinner and Swap/Sale to be to be held May 12.

I sure am. Can't wait til the meeting!
