When we left the meeting, it was pouring rain, with thunder and
lightning. Will we ever have
spring? Good thing the swag was
distributed – the vests were very nice, and kept us warm.
Our annual (6th!) Sneaky Sheep Exchange was the focus of our April meeting. As usual, the creativity and variety of our members was phenomenal. (this purse was from last year's sneaky sheep)
As you can see, a variety of items were created under the "cozie" umbrella.
A survey on the future of the guild was conducted. If you didn't get a chance to fill out a survey, not to worry, we will send out an e-mail with the particulars.
We had many raffle prizes generously donated by Stacey T., Diane D., and Coralee. And the winners were: Sue S. - Book 1: The Knit Stitch, Martha (lucky guest!) acquired the Little Box of Knits for Baby, Heather P. - a gorgeous skein of Mango Moon with a Scood pattern, Tanya received 8 skeins of Kathmando Aran by Queensland Collection with a vest pattern, Patti S. won a skein of Socks that Rock, Sue W. got 2 skeins of Sock Candy, Kim W. – 2 skeins of Cascade 220, Mimi – Toys to Knit book, Penny D – Cute Knits for Baby Feet, Rita – Wacky Baby Knits, Claudia (another lucky guest) - Alt Fiber book.

Charity kick-off: Bartholomew the one-eyed monster and a
cute little bear are the projects for the year. These adorable
creatures will go to children in Project Nighty-Night. Creatures are due back in October. Judith also included enough yarn and
instructions to knit a 7" x 7" square to be collected and made up into blankets for Project Night-Night. If you didn’t pick up a kit and
want to participate, please contact Judith, our fantastic and hard working charity coordinator. 30 bear kits and 19 monster kits were distributed. There are 2 monster kits remaining.
