5 generous people donated items for the October raffle: Kathleen Endlein, Colleen Robbins, Sharon Hagen, Heather Perrone and Tanya Thomann. The lucky winners thank them: Rachel Lawson - Knits to fit & Flatter, Sharon Hagen - Textured Knits, Joyce Crabtree - Knitting With Novelty Yarn and some novelty yarn, a guest named Sue - pink Berrocco Chinchilla yarn, Linda Francisco - Mother Daughter Knits, Sue Waid - a project bag, and Laurie Goodman - a notions bag.

11 guests joined us to see the Trunk Show starring LindaLu, to learn about knitting with tshirts and plarn, and to make felted soap [thanks Kate!].

Judith received a large number of white items for our charity project. They will all be put to good use warming people this winter.

In addition to all of this activity, nominations were made for vice-president. Charli Osborne and Kelley Kencik are the nominees. The election will be held at the November meeting. Also in November, you can sign up for the local shop hop on Saturday, November 13.

Linda,
Don't forget about the Ann Arbor Fiber Fest weekend of the 23rd.

Also, believe that Suzanne J. may have taken picture of "white" charity knitting table.

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...

BSKG 1st Guest Post

Posted by Kim Whelan  "copyright Geneve Hoffman Photography" I have this friend; maybe you have one like her?

"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. . .)
