Black Sheep Knitting Guild

Our first meeting of 2019 was very busy. We said goodbye and thank you to our former president, Kate, and introduced our new president, Merritt, along with our new Vice President, Barb. Merritt welcomed our guests and then members shared any new finished projects. The skill level and talent in our guild is very impressive! Order forms for new BSKG t-shirts were handed out. Remember to turn your order in by January 31. We kicked off the Sneaky Sheep project. It’s a bit challenging but will be fun. Kim W. presented on how to design your own hat pattern.

At our December guild meeting we had a trunk show by a few of our new members. Thanks for sharing! We also had a show and share of any projects knit from the last retreat swag. The fun began when we had our annual Brown Bag Swap! Participants brought in a gift in a bag and got a chance to pick a bag or steal a bag when their number was called. The items that got the most "oohs" and "aahs" were of course also the ones that got stolen the most. There were cute lambs, lovely yarn, stitch markers, and a lot of other goodies! Julia delivered the pies that were ordered from Achatz. Thanks, Julia! Vickie's rainbow hat...  Madelyn, Celine and Vickie model their knitting. New member trunk show~amazing!
