January Meeting

January 2017!! The snow, freezing rain and monsoon did not keep the Black Sheep at home! We had a wonderful group of knitters.

I would like to introduce myself, Dorinda B, the new guild blogger along with Kathy S. I will be popping around the room at every meeting to get as many pictures as I can. So most likely, you will never see me in a post! Also let me know if there are things you would like to see included in the blog.




We celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Black Sheep Guild, albeit a few months late. The cake was fabulous!


Kathy S did the ceremonial passing of the baton to Tracey, our new President! Well, they were actually size 50 needles. So appropriate.





SNEAKY SHEEP TIME!! 


Kim and Tanya had some wonderful ideas for the 2017 Sneaky Sheep. I have already signed up!
Please check your email for the info on all the details. Check out the tab at the top of the blog with all the sneaky sheep info.

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...

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. . .)
