April Meeting


        April            
     Meeting




WOW!! This was a FUN filled night! 

The meeting started with the new kits for our charity knitting. The recipients will be babies at the Hutzel/DMC Hospital neonatal and preemie unit. Special thanks to Judith and Kate for putting the patterns together and a huge shout out to Judith for gathering all the yarn and putting together all the kits. Great work! 

If you picked up a kit/kits, all finished items are due at the October meeting (or before if you have them finished).





 We had a large group of about 60 people at the meeting. The excitement was in the air for this year's Sneaky Sheep Swap! Forty people participated in the Cowl swap. They were ALL so beautiful. Everyone left happy.
Many thanks to Kim and Tanya for creating, organizing, communicating, photographing, and encouraging the entire project.

The swap went SO well we even had time for Show & Share






 Our board members are always hard at work! Thank you ladies! 


Next month's meeting will be the second Tuesday, May 9th. 

This is our annual Swap and Sale and Dessert!! 

Bring yarn to sell or swap. Bring money to shop other people's extra stash. Bring your sweet tooth!

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,
