October Meeting

Oct was once again a full house with several new members! Welcome to Janet W, Mary P, Elizabeth C and 2 guests Sally K & Patricia H. 


Brown bag swap: 
Bring to the November meeting a new knitting related item of a $20 minimum value in a plain brown bag…and be SURE to get assigned a number. 


Then the fun begins, we’ll start with a random number — that person picks a bag, OPENS and SHOWS what they got. The person who BROUGHT that item goes next.

At any point the new person up to open a bag has two options: pick a new bag to open, or ‘STEAL' something already opened.

Items may be ‘stolen’ two times (MAYBE three, it will depend on how many people participate). 

If your item is stolen, you are the next up…to either open a new bag or steal someone else’s item! You cannot steal back the item that was just stolen from you.

At the very end, the second person up then the first may have the opportunity to do a final steal…and swap their item for the one they steal.


Lots of goodies in the silent auction!


Our new location has great lighting!

Great times socializing with friends





Show and Share is always so fun! Remember to bring your finished items to share with the group.

♥ Kate filled in for Tracey. ♥





















Tanya brought in some of her new designs they are available as kits. 
BEAUTIFUL!





Charity items are still coming in! Great job everyone!

 

Until next time. Remember one dropped stitch is a mistake. Two dropped stitches is a design detail! 😘

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,

March Guild Meeting with Melynda Bernardi

Our guest speaker,  Melynda Bernardi of French Press  Knits, was wonderful! She shared about her background as a knitter, how the name French Press Knits was chosen,  how she started by selling felted slippers and progressed in to writing patterns. Her work is beautiful and she brought several samples to share. Melynda graciously offered a discount on her online patterns for the month of March for our guild members!
