November Meeting


The November meeting was very busy, what with the election, brown bag swap and lots of show and share.  Many of the flock were in attendance, along with four new members and three guests. 

The candidates for Vice President, Merritt Collins and Kathy Stasys, gave an informative talk about themselves, and then voting ensued.  The results will be announced at the December meeting. 

As usual, Chris Hamel did a fine job with lots of really great raffle prizes.  The prizes were donated by Kathleen Endlein, Katy Koelb, Erika Proschkow, Rita Perrone, and Kathy Rasmussen.  And the winners were Joan Koelsch, Merritt Collins, Heather Perrone, Joan Brown, Tina Noel (guest), Pat Kreiling, and Dawn Jensen.

The big event of the night was the Mystery Trade/Brown Bag Swap.  Thirty-five brown bags with mystery knit-related items, what could be more fun.  Lots of surprises as bags were opened, coveted gifts were stolen snatched - it was that kind of fun.

Show and Share






And to top off the evening, did we mention, there was CAKE.
An additional note:  Black Sheep will be making the newspaper once again. Prior to the meeting, a newspaper photographer came to take pictures of the Black Sheep washcloth for an article by Jocelyn Brown in the Detroit News, on Friday the 21st.  Keep an eye out for it.

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.

"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. . .)
