May Guild Meeting

Our May guild meeting was Merritt's final meeting as our president. Thank you, Merritt, for doing a great job!

Barb Caddy will be president starting in June along with Laurie Cline serving as vice president. The next three months guild will be "summer camp" social knitting at HWPL which will allow Barb and Laurie time to plan for their term. I hear they have wonderful things in store for us!!

Also, starting in September we will be moving our guild meetings to our new location, Central Oaks Community Church in Royal Oak. We have loved being in the Woods Gallery in HWPL but have outgrown the space and need better parking.

The yarn swap/sale was fun! Several members brought yarn to sell and, of course, people were busy buying. A few swaps happened as well!

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!
