April Meeting

We had a great time last night at our April meeting and we had a new member - Karen F. and a visitor - Michelle A.

Our raffle contributors were Marie W., Linda M., Kathy S., Sally P. and Harriet A.
The winners were as follows:

Hope R.       Book - Shadow Knitting
Tanya T.       Pendleton grey flannel zippered double point needle holder
Pat K.          Book - Cutest Ever, Baby Knits, and 2 skeins of Knit Pick DE swish
Kate M.       Book - Knitting Vintage Socks and 2 skeins of Steinbach Wolle sock yarn
Heather P.  Book - It Itches and 3 skeins Berroco Comfort worsted wt. yarn
Charli O.     Cascade Yarns pattern for reversible eyelet cable scarf and Cascade Heritage Silk yarn
Merritt C.   Book - Exquisite Little Knits and pattern and ladder yarn for scarf
Ann R.       Book - Knit Socks and 3 skeins of Fortissima sock yarn

 Merritt C. gave a wonderful trunk show of many of her knit projects.  Here are some pictures that will give you just a small idea of what she does.








If you missed this meeting and are interested to learn more about Merritt's projects or how she knits them, make sure you come to our next meeting.  Merritt will be more than happy to talk with you at that time.

 Speaking of our next meeting, it will be the last of the season and we will be having a member swap and sale and desserts.  Member swap and sale means just that.  Bring yarn, books, notions, etc. that you don't want any more.  Put a price on your items if you want to sell them or swap with another person for something they brought.  

 Our retreat will take place on May 2-4 and our last meeting is May 13.  We still have openings  if you decide you'd like to join us at the retreat.   The weather is definitely on the upswing and our incredible door prizes are arriving daily!  So think about it.  Any questions, feel free to contact Donna M. or Harriet A.

 See you either at Panera, the retreat or the May meeting.  Knit on, fellow Black Sheep!

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. . .)
