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

 Final retreat payment of $150 is due at this meeting.  Don’t forget to bring your knitting/crocheting!

A homemade meatloaf dinner with all the sides, salad, and dessert will be available for $12 from 5-7 PM. If you don’t want meatloaf; there’s a full menu at the bar that includes sandwiches, salads, appetizers, etc. Alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages are available at the bar, too.

We have a few exciting things going on this month! First and foremost, our meeting will feature a trunk show from local indie dyer End of the Row Yarns. Please feel free to visit her Etsy shop for a preview. She'll be accepting cash or credit cards in exchange for her beautiful hand-dyed sock yarn.

We're also opening signups in June and accepting deposits of $150 for the annual guild retreat. The retreat will be held the first weekend in October at the Claggett Center in Adamstown, MD and will once again feature the instruction and camaraderie of Tanis Gray. 

The annual YARN SWAP was bigger than ever with more participants too!  Everyone must have left with at least one item they had to have.

Next month, May, is our annual spring dinner.  This year we are going to Yellowfin.  Evites due soon.  See you there wearing something knitted, of course!
