NOVEMBER MEETING

Well, we had a great time this past Tuesday.  We had 57 members in attendance (which included 7 new members) and 5 guests!  We now have a grand total of 96 members in the BSKG.  Amazing!

We had lots of fun with the Brown Bag Gift Exchange.  Many sheep participated and enjoyed themselves.

 We also enjoyed some luscious cake and relaxed and talked and looked at each other's projects, etc.



 
 






 And just look at the charity project toys that were turned in to Judith.  I just love them.  You guys are the greatest when it comes to charity.  And so creative!


Judith spoke about another charity project, a kind of pay it forward project.   Make a hat.  Give a hat to someone who needs one.  Don't even need to tell anyone about doing this.  Just do it.  Anyone who didn't pick up a kit to do this and would like one, let us know.

We had our election for the new vice president.  The results of the vote will be announced at the December meeting and the new vp will take office at the January meeting.


We circulated a sign-up sheet for the retreat committee.  Several signed up, but we can always use more sheep.  Please think about this and make a decision to participate and contribute a bit of your time to the Guild.  Seriously, the retreat committee is a lot of fun.

Also, if you would like to become more active in the Guild, you can sign up to help out at KnitMichigan the first Saturday of February.  Feel free to ask any questions about this or the retreat committee.  We'd be glad to talk to you.


Our next meeting will be December 10th.  Tracey Kane will be presenting a trunk show and we will have a program on Techniques - Edgings.   We, hopefully, will have our swag/umbrellas by this meeting.  We will let you know for sure, so you can bring your $15 (per umbrella).

Remember, you can always join other knitters at the Panera's on Coolidge and 15 on the Tuesdays we don't have a meeting.  We're there from 5:30'ish to after 9.  Come on over and eat, knit and shmooz.

Nice guild, what a beneficial hobby at all, spending some of their spare time to knit some great stuff to share for needy ones, well I am so happy to know that a guild like this still exist, a guild where every member knows that its not about how it cost and being made, its about how it helps and make others happy which is indeed a big thing already.

Janurary Meeting and Announcements

New Meeting Location! effective immediately for our Tuesday Jan 8, 2007 Meeting I feel like we've been in a sweat lodge for the last few months meeting at the Community Center. . .in response to all of the hot flashes and personal fans brought to the meetings, we've chosen a new (and cooler)location. Meetings will now be held at: Fifth Third Bank 1833 Coolidge Berkley, MI 48072 The bank is located on Coolidge near 11 mile. . .on the West side of the road. Great, well lit parking, comfy chairs and no jazzercise music playing during the meeting! The meeting agenda will include learning a new cast on and bind off--bring worsted weight yarn in two colors, and needles to match, as well as info about Knit Michigan (see Judith's post below), our upcoming Retreat at Hankered Inn (you may want to bring your checkbook so you can leave a deposit to reserve your space as they are limited). The retreat is planned for the weekend of April 25-27, check your calendars and save the date...

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, ...

"Speed Knitting"

Ever seen anyone knit so fast they needed a helmet to protect themselves? Or maybe, the helmet is to protect themselves from the head bashing you do when you've made a REALLY big mistake and need to frog. . . A skein of sock yarn is waiting for the person with the most witty (in my opinion) caption for this pix. Make a comment and I'll choose the winner next Thursday when I come home from the UP. Thanks to Coralee for the picture! (oh how I wonder what sort of crazy pictures of me she may have stored on her camera. . .)
