Knitting Night at The Yarn Stop

We had a great turn out for social knitting at the Yarn Stop. In February their new ‘Yarn University’ was opened and Sam and Mike extended a knit night invitation to our guild. The space is perfect for a large group to get together for a fun night with friends...to knit, laugh, snack and of course, shop.

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!

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)
