Guild Meeting Report

YES! I went to a knitting guild meeting last night. There were about 16 of us and we sat and knitted for about an hour and a half. I'd have to say that it was fabulous. 5 stars. A red letter day.

I went for the program portion, which was a good decision. I think that's what most people go for. There wasn't much of a program per say: all the new people introduced themselves (there were four of us) and we were all persuaded to become members. It wasn't a very hard sell since it only costs $2 for the rest of the year. Next year, we can renew for $12. That's right, a dollar a month. One. One dollar. James laughed when I told him that. He said that my hobbies are a lot cheaper than his. Then he took it back.

Next, we had show-and-tell, obviously the best part of the evening. We went around the room and everyone showed what they were working on. A few people brought recently finished projects. One woman is knitting the Clapotis from knitty. Very nice. And the girl across from me was knitting with some yarn that she had spun.

I took my toe-up socks from elann. The other knitters nodded appreciatively. One commented on the tiny needles. That made me feel good.


The program was on how to decipher the care directions on yarn labels. It wasn't very long, but I learning everything I need to know about reading yarn labels. Go ahead ask me.

Lastly, there was a drawing. Every month one of the members brings some yarn from their stash or a book they don't want anymore. How cool is that? That’s worth $1 a month. I’ve got to win sometime. This month was a book of sweater patterns. I didn't win, but as a thank you for joining I got these nifty note cards.


Tomorrow: project pictures. I promise!
