The Guild has not met since March because of the Covid19 pandemic.   A Virtual Retreat was held in early October.  While the weather stays comfortable outside, some members are meeting outside, physically distanced, to lunch and knit.  If you are interested, please contact Lee. 

MARCH 3 MEETING AT ANNAPOLIS ELKS CLUB AT 7 pm.  

Come early to enjoy dinner in the dining room at your own cost.  

Our program this month will focus on fit with a "Fit 101 Basics" courtesy of Karen Santa. It will serve as an introduction to the topic of making sweaters fit. If you'd like to actively participate, please bring a tape measure and a sweater that fits you comfortably.  Signup and pay for the May 5 dinner ($40 cash or check); both are due no later than the April meeting to reserve your seat.

Brenda Reed will provide an overview of Portuguese knitting. Some people find this style of knitting easier for arthritis and carpal tunnel, for purling, for even tension, and/or for speed. 

If you would like to try and follow along, please bring the following:

- at least 20 yards of worsted weight yarn

- size US 7 or 8 needles

- cast on 20 stitches and knit 2 rows in advance

Meeting, Tuesday, September 3,  DUES ARE DUE ($25).  The meeting includes a "Learn to Crochet" demo.  Please bring your latest projects for Show and Tell. Also RSVP by Friday if you plan to attend the full dinner.
