April 12 BSKG meeting

Doors open at 7:00 pm for sign in and raffle ticket sales.
It's almost time for the S3.4! Hopefully everyone has their project well in hand. It will be exciting to see what everyone has created for their sneaky sheep. Along with the sneaky sheep exchange, Judith will have the charity kick-off for this year. That will give everyone the summer to do their charity knitting. The annual retreat is coming up, and there are still spots left. We always have a great time, it is a chance to get to know fellow knitters better, knit, relax, and just enjoy the weekend. We will have a classes, chair massages and henna tattoos. Please consider coming if you can!
Please see the attachment for information regarding programs held by the Needlework and Textile Guild of Michigan (NTGM). Kate Pultz is our contact with that guild, and there are some interesting programs coming up. NTGM has invited our members to attend their meetings.

See you Tuesday.

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!
