was a great time to renew friendships and see everyone's projects!
it's really September!
Our kickoff guild meeting is Tuesday, September 8, at St. Columban in Birmingham.
The doors open at 6:30 pm, so you can check in, buy raffle tickets, and
socialize a bit before the meeting which starts at 7 pm. Don't forget to wear
your name tags! : ) Should you find yourself sitting next to a new member
or guest, please make them feel as welcomed as you did at your first meeting.
We have set our calendar for the year--we’ve got some great programs and
plans that you’re sure to enjoy. Bring your calendar so you can make plans
for some exciting field trips.
We will be asking for some members to take a more active roll in the
guild — we have a variety of positions that need filling. This is an
opportunity for you to step up and feel the satisfaction and energy of
being a vital part of the workings of the guild.
Think about joining us as
• Part of the Secretary Team
• Raffle Coordinator
• BSKG Merchandise Manager
• Web Master
• Tech/Hardware Manager
• Field Trip Committee Member
• Retreat Committee Member
Also at the September meeting we will be talking about the opportunity
to run for Vice President ~ an excellent way to be involved in the
excitement of the guild, in making the guild a great place for all
knitters. September is the time to ask us questions and to hear a bit
more about what the Vice President position means;we will be asking
for nominations at the October meeting. Consider the position for
yourself, or think about who you feel would best fit the position and
see if they are willing to accept the nomination.
Happy September birthday to Marilyn Grazioli, Rhys Hunter,
Marcia Kaline and Katie Tenbrink.
Here's a request passed on by a member:
"Volunteers are needed to make scarves that will be given as gifts of warmth and love to the over 500 people, many homeless, who join parishioners for the Annual Christmas Day Feast at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Detroit (Episcopal). Will you help us please? Knit, Crochet, Sew, Weave -- all handmade scarves are welcome. "Help us wrap our guests in warmth." Please pass the word. Scarves should be unisex in color/pattern, approximately 6" x 60". No "fun fur" please, no lace scarves -- many of the guests are men and they'd appreciate something more dignified."
Ask Rita any questions. She will collect any scarves you want to donate.

summer knitters
Kerknit -aka Luke - popped in at Panera on Monday to join the knitters there. His mom, Kim, came along for the fun.
Looks like a lot of *stash enhancement* was acquired at the Mich Fiber Fest! Sally was spotted lusting after yarn with the traveling sheep looking on.
After a fun day LindaLu, Sally, Kathleen & Aunt Joyce, Harriet, and the sheep spent time nibbling & knitting in the hotel lobby.
greetings while on vacation
I haven't seen LindaLu out here in Colorado. :-(
I did, however, have lunch with a friend who is a knitter and a lover of horror movies. When I said something about the BSKG she said she'd seen a movie the night before from New Zealand.... the name is Black Sheep. Might be something we need to check out. Here is what it's about: "An experiment in genetic engineering turns harmless sheep into blood-thirsty killers that terrorize a sprawling New Zealand farm."
Speaking of Black Sheep, happy birthday to our August-born members: Barbara Sump, Harriet Atlas, Dawn Lemon and Sally Pituch.

CHANGE OF VENUE: BSKG 1st Annual Picnic/Knit In/Knit Out
NEW VENUE:
STARR PARK 13 Mile Rd just east of Crooks, in Royal Oak.
The pavilion has probably been rented so we will just set up in an open area. Look for the "green chairs"
It has been long-discussed and *suddenly* decided upon!
This Saturday, July 18, at 1 pm (rain date Sunday, July 19) BSKG members will meet for an afternoon of knitting & food.
** Original plan was Shain Park in Birmingham...we now hear that the park is under construction and closed. Please check back here...a new location will be selected shortly!
Bring your knitting, bring a chair/blanket, bring food or drink if you want.
Any questions? Leave a comment & someone will get back to you pronto!
Stitch N' Pitch
Rita Perrone talked to Gary at the Tigers office and he has plenty of tickets. The date for getting money to Rita, Heather, Kate or Harriet is now July 22nd.
Tickets are $15, with a one time fee of $6. The extra $6 can be divided amongpeople going.
BAD NEWS - no goodie bags this year. Rita talked to the people at City Knits and the participating stores are not providing goodie bags.
Be sure to get your ticket order in by July 22. If you want to carpool from Anderson Middle School tell Rita, Heather, Kate or Harriet.

The BSKG Board met...
this week. Here we are, hard at work.
We talked about a BSKG picnic, Stitch n' Pitch, and other fun ideas for the guild.
This year Stitch n' Pitch is August 30 at 1PM. The Tigers play the Tampa Devil Rays. This is an "unofficial" event and you need to buy your own tickets. You can find a store selling them here:
