A lovely day out

Up bright and early on this crisp, fall Saturday...a group of Black Sheep met at 8 a.m. to drive over to Saline, Michigan for the sixth annual Fiber Expo. There were a few more Black Sheep at the event—both shopping and vending!

The Fiber Expo was full of great yarns, colors, critters (including a camel!), baubles and bits. We came away three hours later with a bit less cash (okay, probably a lot less) but happy and excited by our individual finds. I can't wait to see the items that start to get knit up...wonder how many of us are casting on tonight?!  

After Max & Erma's for lunch, chatter and warm chocolate chip cookies, a group of us headed to Northville to stop in at Center Street Knits and browse a few shops before calling it a day.

And what a day it was!

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!
