2019 Meetings begin JANUARY 8

NOTE WELL:  Our first meeting of the new year is the 2nd Tuesday, January 8.

We'll begin with the first of two lessons on SHORT ROWS.  Also come with your projects for show and tell.  Bring a friend to introduce to our Guild too!

Here are some memories of our holiday party at Karen's:

Of course we have to knit before presents!

DECEMBER is our annual Holiday Party.  Get the details in the email soon to come.

At the November meeting, Karen, Sherry and Lee gave us a review and workshop on several different embellishments.  A well-done program which was followed by a look at all the Tanis Gray "Kings and Thieves" cowls finished or almost finished by those who attended the annual Retreat.

NOVEMBER 6: Knitting Embellishments.  

At our October meeting, we shared our "go to" patterns.   On October 5-7, many of the Guild members and friends met at the Claggett Center in Buckeystown, MD for our (now) annual Guild Retreat.  Tanis Gray was our teacher.  We learned how to do a provisional cast-on, the perfect kitchener stitch, and to love reading charts.  Look for the finished "Kings & Thieves" cowl, our retreat project designed by Tanis, at upcoming meetings. 

 Here are some pictures of knitters enjoying themselves, doing what we love to do.... KNIT!

We celebrated Priscilla's birthday.
