February’s
meeting was a fun, informative and crafty meeting. We had two guests and one
new member joining us.
Events/field
trip coordinator Charli Osborne is gearing up for the fiber show spring season.
Be sure to check out the signup sheets for carpooling at the meetings and the
blog for more information. Hope you join us for the first trip to Black Swamp Spinners Guild Market Day & Fiber Fair in Bowling Green Ohio. Carpooling is
a really great way get acquainted with other members of the flock, not to
mention a ton of fun. Oh, and did I say lunch; we all meet up in town for
lunch.
Retreat
committee is busy planning yet another fun packed event. The flock will be at MacMullan Conference Center the second weekend in May, a weekend of
knitting with other Black Sheep, fabulous door prizes, a bonfire, walks to the
lake and in the woods and a ton of fiber fun. Another way to bond with fellow
sheep while having a great relaxing time.
Raffle
chair, Chris Hamel, had many lovely prizes to raffle off.
Prizes were donated by Linda
Doros, Donna Mrozek, Katy Koelb, Mary Moylan, Helga McCann, and Pat Kreiling.
The happy winners were Sue Sullivan, Kelley Glancy, Kim Whelen, Ann Tomlinson,
Valerie Koyl, Karen Sanders, Mary Jo Pilat, and Joan Koelsch.
Judging
Knitting at the State Fair was the topic of the talk given by Pat Kreiling. Pat
judged the knitted items at the Michigan State Fair before it was closed. She explained
what a knit judge did and did not do and had some very quirky stories about
some of her experiences. Thanks Pat, you did a terrific job!
