January 2018

The cold crunchy snow did not keep our knitters home!


Thank you Tracey for being our fearless leader!! 


During the January BSKG meeting, it is traditional to "Bind off" our past president and "Cast On" our new president. 
 Tracey welcomes new president, Kate, and newly elected VP, Merritt. Both will be great leaders for the BSKG.




Show and Share is always fun!! 
Please bring your newly made items to show. We all enjoy seeing the group's creativity. 




















It's Sneaky Sheep time!!
Kim and Tonya present their next great suggestion for 2018's Sneaky Sheep project.
Find that beautiful skein of yarn you have been waiting to use for that perfect project. Some clever Sneaky Sheep will turn it into the special item you've been meaning to make....later.
And you will knit someone else's spectacular saved skein.
Talk about a Win-Win situation.
Bring your skein and fill out the provided form for February's meeting. NO TIME EXTENSIONS!!!!
Final product will be revealed at the May meeting. 
Make sure to click the Sneaky Sheep tab at the top of the page for the form. 



Stay warm and cozy and go stash diving! 
See you Feb 13th. Let's see how many come dressed in Red for Valentine's Day 
♥♥♥

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!

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!
