Black Sheep Knitting Guild

Well, yesterday was our Stitch N' Pitch Tiger baseball game and what a game it was!  We sold over 200 tickets to knitters, crocheters, embroiderers (is that a word?), and other needlecrafters.  The weather was the best, I think, in all the years we've been coming to these Stitch N' Pitch games.  And, the best of all - the Tigers won their fourth straight division crown.  Yea, Tigers!!! This is the back of the t-shirts we got.  Aren't they grand?  The front has the Tiger D. Here are more pictures of just some of the SNP fans. The seats we had were great.  Just look at this view we had.   I want to thank everyone who brought mittens to the game.  They will be distributed by Mittens for Detroit to the homeless veterans who will seriously appreciate them this winter.  Thank you, thank you, thank you. Remember now, when we start selling tickets to next year's Stitch N' Pitch game, get your tickets and join us in the fun...

Well, last week's meeting was a lot of fun.  Since then I've gone to my 50th high school reunion and, yes, of course I wore something I knit.  It got so cool, it was perfect for a sweater. At the meeting we had many lovely knits for show and share. Noreen S. showed several items, including this incredible shadow knit shawl.  Think I might like to learn this technique.  How about you?  Can you tell who the picture is?  Hint, hint, initials are H.P. Diane D. had a lovely shawl knit with yarn she got from Twisted Fiber Art at our meeting last February.   Erika P. showed us several beautiful cowls that she was taking with her to Germany as gifts. Kathleen E. finished her hitchhiker scarf.  Yea!  Incredible yarn, so beautiful. Among several items that Ernestine  B. showed us was this really gorgeous lace wrap. We had a silent auction with lots of lovely yarns, umbrellas, hat...

Tonight is the first meeting of our Guild for this season!  I'm so excited and hope you are too and plan to attend.  Doors open at 6:30 and the meeting begins at 7. We'll have lots of fun and interesting things going on at the meeting.  We will have a silent auction with many beautiful items for you to see and bid on.  Don't forget to bring your summer projects to "show and share."  We all want to see what you've been working on since our last meeting in May. Charity items are due at next month's meeting.  Don't know about you, but once I started knitting those little hats for newborns, I could hardly stop.  Lastly, there will be sign up sheets for committees and for donations for the raffles.  Please consider becoming involved! Looking forward to seeing all of you tonight.
