Black Sheep Knitting Guild

Pat from the Oakland Knitting Guild has passed along this info - if anyone is available, it looks like a good time and it would be wonderful to have some Black Sheep go and mingle with our fellow knitters! You are invited to the Knitter’s Picnic hosted by the Oakland Knitting Guild. We have reserved the pavilion at Firefighters Park from 4-9 p.m. On Wednesday June 19th. The park is located on Square Lake Road between Coolidge and Crooks on the North side of the street. You will see the pavilion on your right, there is a parking lot north of the pavilion. Bring your knitting, a show and share project, a potluck dish, beverages, and a chair. We always have a lot of fun, hope to see you there. Pat

You are wise when you know the limits of your wisdom.    You are true when you admit that there are times when you fool yourself.

Well, we had a good showing of about a dozen knitters at 12 Oaks Mall on Saturday, June 8 for World Wide Knit in Public Day.  Including our sheepie who had a nice cold drink: I'm not in any picture, as I was taking them.  We were there for several hours and had a good time.  Actually, I think this whole week is Knit in Public Week.  So, if anyone else is out in public knitting and gets some pics, let me know and we can put them on the blog.
