FIRST MEETING - PICS

Well, last week's meeting was a lot of fun.  Since then I've gone to my 50th high school reunion and, yes, of course I wore something I knit.  It got so cool, it was perfect for a sweater.

At the meeting we had many lovely knits for show and share.

Noreen S. showed several items, including this incredible shadow knit shawl.  Think I might like to learn this technique.  How about you?  Can you tell who the picture is?  Hint, hint, initials are H.P.


Diane D. had a lovely shawl knit with yarn she got from Twisted Fiber Art at our meeting last February.  




















Erika P. showed us several beautiful cowls that she was taking with her to Germany as gifts.


Kathleen E. finished her hitchhiker scarf.  Yea!  Incredible yarn, so beautiful.


















Among several items that Ernestine  B. showed us was this really gorgeous lace wrap.

We had a silent auction with lots of lovely yarns, umbrellas, hats, blankets, etc.  Hard decisions as to which items to bid on.

 

 
We had many knitters turn in their charity baby hats.  Don't worry if you didn't turn yours in.  They actually aren't due until our October meeting.  So, be sure to bring them to the next meeting.

Hope you all had a wonderful time at the first meeting of the Black Sheep Knitting Guild this fall.  Looking forward to seeing all of you (and more) at the meeting on October 14.  We will be ordering swag (t-shirts).  Don't worry, you don't have to pay for them until you get them.  We will have nominations for vp, our first of the season raffle, and a trunk show by Sue W. 



See you in October, if not at social knitting at Panera's.

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!

BSKG 1st Guest Post

Posted by Kim Whelan  "copyright Geneve Hoffman Photography" I have this friend; maybe you have one like her? She’s the kind of friend that has all these crazy, great ideas, and somehow, before you know it, you’re smack dab in the middle of something! 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,
