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!

Janurary Meeting and Announcements

New Meeting Location! effective immediately for our Tuesday Jan 8, 2007 Meeting I feel like we've been in a sweat lodge for the last few months meeting at the Community Center. . .in response to all of the hot flashes and personal fans brought to the meetings, we've chosen a new (and cooler)location. Meetings will now be held at: Fifth Third Bank 1833 Coolidge Berkley, MI 48072 The bank is located on Coolidge near 11 mile. . .on the West side of the road. Great, well lit parking, comfy chairs and no jazzercise music playing during the meeting! The meeting agenda will include learning a new cast on and bind off--bring worsted weight yarn in two colors, and needles to match, as well as info about Knit Michigan (see Judith's post below), our upcoming Retreat at Hankered Inn (you may want to bring your checkbook so you can leave a deposit to reserve your space as they are limited). The retreat is planned for the weekend of April 25-27, check your calendars and save the date...

"Speed Knitting"

Ever seen anyone knit so fast they needed a helmet to protect themselves? Or maybe, the helmet is to protect themselves from the head bashing you do when you've made a REALLY big mistake and need to frog. . . A skein of sock yarn is waiting for the person with the most witty (in my opinion) caption for this pix. Make a comment and I'll choose the winner next Thursday when I come home from the UP. Thanks to Coralee for the picture! (oh how I wonder what sort of crazy pictures of me she may have stored on her camera. . .)

Hello all. This is the job I won playing *secretarial poker* this evening. If you have anything you want to share, let me know. As my first official act I am reminding Margie T. & Suzanne J. that they signed up to provide raffle items for the March meeting. Mary P. and Nancy B. will be providing snacks. A question of vital importance: does anyone have a button maker? Know of one available for guild use? Inquiring secretaries want to know. March is a busy birthday month! We know of Judith, Linda D., Suzanne, Kim W. & Camille. Anyone else? Tanya has an important question for you all. More news next time. Linda F. ETA--Check the sidebar! --t
