April Black Sheep Knitting Guild Meeting Reminder

Hello Sheepies!

Just a quick reminder that we are meeting next Tuesday, April 9. Doors open at 6:30 and the meeting will begin at 7:00. There are a few special things happening this month, so be prepared and bring your pennies!

Sneaky Sheep - all of our sneaky sheep swap efforts will be revealed! If you have ever participated in Sneaky Sheep in the past and didn't have the opportunity to give your gift, now is the time - bring it in and present it to the person it was originally intended for.
Swag will be passed out - if you ordered swag, payment on that will be due.
For those going on Retreat with us in May, the final Retreat payment will also be due. If you paid the $75 deposit and are in a twin room, you owe $110. If you paid the $75 deposit and are in a single room, you owe $145.
We will be holding our last special Raffle for a Retreat registration. Raffle tickets will be $5.
We will be kicking off our Charity knit for the year - kits will be available to pick up at the meeting.

Guests are invited to attend 2 meetings to try us on for size. All BSKG meetings and events are for those 18 and over, unless otherwise stated, so please leave children at home.

Happy Spring, everyone - I'm looking forward to seeing all of you next week!

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 .

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!
