BSKG September Meeting

Fall is coming fast... although it feels like summer only just got here! Many BSKG members have been together at various times throughout the summer, but I know we are all looking forward to the yarny goodness of fall and seeing everyone at guild meetings.

Our first meeting of the year is Tuesday, September 10, at Our Shepherd Lutheran Church in Birmingham. Doors open at 6:30 pm, so you can check in and socialize for a bit before the meeting starts at 7:00 pm. Should you find yourself sitting next to a new member or guest, please make them  feel as welcomed as you were at your first meeting. 

This meeting is our welcome back meeting - we would really love to see what you've been knitting or been excited about over the summer. Please bring items - knitted, crocheted, maybe new yarns or fiber treasures - to show and share. We will also be having a Silent Auction of some fabulous items, so bring your money/checkbook! 

Thanks to all who provided feedback through the survey we sent out. We reviewed your thoughts and suggestions with the BSKG Board when we met over the summer. The feedback helps us continue on the right track as a guild - to be a place for all of us to come and enjoy the experiences we have as a group. Our calendar for the year is set and we've got some wonderful programs and plans that you're sure to enjoy. Bring your calendar so you can make plans to venture out on some field trips. 

Also at the September meeting, we will be talking about some opportunities for you as a guild member to step up and become more active in the guild. These are excellent chances to be more involved in making the guild a great place for all members. We'll be asking for nominations for the office of Vice President at the October meeting and the guild will vote on the nominations at the November meeting. 

We're looking forward to seeing you all on the 10th!

Be sure to check the Events page for Stitch 'N Pitch information -- and join the fun on September 15!

BSKG 1st Guest Post

Posted by Kim Whelan  "copyright Geneve Hoffman Photography" I have this friend; maybe you have one like her? She’s the kind of friend that has all these crazy, great ideas, and somehow, before you know it, you’re smack dab in the middle of something! 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!
