January meeting

It's time to start a New Year and we have lots of fun things coming up! The next BSKG meeting is Tuesday January 12th at 7:30pm. Make sure you bring extra cash because in addition to the regular raffle, we have the special Knit Michigan Raffle (tickets are $5.00 each). Win a ticket, valued at $90-$110, to be a Knit Michigan Marathoner!

Don't forget to bring in your charity projects, due this meeting. Judith will be handing out tickets as you drop off your hats for a chance at one of four beautiful prizes as a thank-you for your time and effort!
The Program this Month is our annual Cast On/Bind Off with a changing of the guard. Bring a size 7 16" circular and size 7 DPN (or just the DPNs if you prefer) and about 100yds of worsted weight if you want to work on a cute headband. (If you just want to learn the techniques just bring the yarn and needles)
The Member Trunk show this month features Sue Waid; we are excited to see what she brings to show us. We also will be announcing the particulars of the S3.3 [Sneaky Sheep Swap] and how to sign up. And finally, we'll be rolling out the 2010 Retreat information.
Whew, I think that's enough! See you there!

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.
