The Retreat is soming up sooon!

Just a quick reminder to register for the annual BSKG Retreat...a weekend of fun with fiber friends April 29 - May 1.
Includes 2 nights, 5 meals, snacks and workshops and more fun than you can shake a skein at!

We will be holding a special raffle at the March meeting for the 2 paid retreat admissions.
If you have already signed up, and then win the raffle, we will of course refund your deposit.

McMullen Center is a lovely place, set on the wooded shores of Higgins Lake, which has been noted as one of the world's most beautiful lakes.

Last year we had classes at the beach, went kayaking, had a bonfire at the beach, went for walks in the woods.
We have chair massages scheduled for Saturday afternoon, also we will have our own henna artist.
There will be a sale Sat. evening, with some our talented members showcasing their wares.

We have arranged a tour of Stonehedge Fiber Mill Friday afternoon, before the "official" retreat starts.

It's a great weekend of fiber fun, great conversations, and just an all around good time! For new members, it is a great chance to get to know everyone.

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!
