February Guild Meeting

Our originally scheduled meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather. The guest speaker, Melynda Bernadi, has been rescheduled to present our next guild meeting March 12.
Reminders:
Please bring your retreat sign up and deposit—our new location is Kettunen Center in Tustin, MI...we are very excited!
Also bring your sneaky sheep hat designs. We will hang them 'gallery style' so you can pick the hat you'd like to knit for someone based on their design. (make sure your name is on the back of your drawing)

Merritt made a beautiful chasing rainbows shawl.
Barb...no second sock syndrome?!
Laurie made a great color work cowl.

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...

"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. . .

Thanks to Coralee for the picture! (oh how I wonder what sort of crazy pictures of me she may have stored on her camera. . .)
