Chemo caps

Happy New Year. Now the holidays are over. I got cleaned out. All hats, mitts, dishcloths and scarves. Gone. I don't owe any Christmas presents. So that's good.
A good time to assess the stash, find out you have plenty and get knitting. Starting with chemo caps and THE baby blanket. Am I the only one who always has a baby blanket going?
Madame President has thrown down a challenge. 100 chemo caps by Knit Michigan. Long pause. I say we can do it. We knitted and donated 125 scarves in 2007. The Knit Michigan website states 200 chemo caps were donated last year. Our goal is half of that. We are awesome.
We have a need for more volunteers to work the Learn to Knit Room. You may not have to teach anyone a thing, it could just be a chance to sit and knit. Go to market. Shop. Have lunch. Spend the day with knitters, knitting.
If you have questions about your chemo cap or a pattern to share, Tuesday Jan 8, will be our last guild meeting before Knit Michigan. I will still be collecting scarves for SOS. I have knit 5. See you soon, Judith

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,

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
