Brown Bags and thieves

Brown bags were in good supply at the November meeting. Black Sheep were eagerly awaiting the chance to choose and steal. No wonder Tanya says it's her favorite meeting of the year! Amidst all the goodies there were a few that seemed to catch the eye(s) of more than one of the Sheep.... and they were stolen repeatedly.

To add to the fun, the 2010/2011 swag was presented to the Guild and orders were taken. Sorry - I didn't get a picture.

There seemed to be a surplus of raffle items donated by Wendy Marvin and Stacey Totzke. The lucky winners were: purse - Rachel Lawson, 1955 yards of Mission Falls yarn - Erika Proschkow, 1445 yards of Mission Falls yarn - Michelle, lots of chenille yarn - Linda Ervine, felt wine bag - Marguerite Winer, needle organizer - Jackie, Baby Knit book - Linda Mayotte, Big Girls Knit book - Barb Boren, 5 knitting magazines - Rhys Hunter, Knitting Color books - Barb, and Pattern and notions - Paula Kelley.

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
