October meeting...

Our October meeting is Tuesday, October 13, at St. Columban in Birmingham.

IMPORTANT CHANGE: Beginning with the October meeting, we cannot enter the church until after 7 p.m.

If you arrive before 7 p.m., you will need to wait in your car—we need to be sure that we do not interfere with the group that will be in the church before us, and give them time to finish and leave before we enter.

So! Now the doors will open after 7 p.m.,you can check in, buy raffle tickets, and socialize a bit before the meeting starts at 7:30 p.m.

October program: Lori Sheffield, co-owner of Skeins on Main in Rochester, is our guest speaker. She will be highlighting fall yarn trends, sharing what is new and exciting in the world of fiber. October will also kickoff our member trunk shows.

We want to thank and welcome the members who volunteered to fill the positions we need—their contributions and help will be vital to the guild!
• Part of the Secretarial Team—Katy R.
• Raffle Coordinator—Suzanne J.
• BSKG Merchandise Manager—Merritt S-C.
• Web Master—still open
• Tech/Hardware Manager—still open
• Field Trip Committee Member—Debbie M. and Diane D.
• Retreat Committee Volunteers—Heather P., Sue W., Barbara B.

We need Vice President nominees! We will be asking for nominations at the October meeting! Consider the position for yourself, or think about who you feel would best fit the position and see if they are willing to accept the nomination.

Can’t wait to see everyone on Tuesday, October 13! Oh, and remember to wear your name tags!


October birthdaygreetings to Barbara Burt, Lillian Molitz and our Halloween sheep Katy Race and Sue Chase!!!

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,

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!
