Month: December 2013

This month  We unfortunately had to cancel our meeting/potluck due to water pipes that broke at our meeting facility.  Sorry to have missed you all but hope to see you in 2014. 

January’s meeting we will be having Setphania Fregosi of Three Fates Yarns.  She will teach us about yarn dyeing.  This will kick off our theme for 2014 – Yarn Dyeing.  She is going to discuss kettle dyed yarn vs. hand-painted yarn, how yarn pools and how one dyes a skein for pooling on purpose and dyeing a striped skein.  Stephania will be bringing her yarn to sell as well.

This month We held our annual Yarn Swap/Sale.  We had lots of yarn show up for sale.  We also had bags from Kay, stitch markers from Sheryl and cards from Kathy.   These ladies are from the Tigard Knitting Guild.  We thank them for joining us. 

We had lots of fun and I believe everyone went home with some new things.  

December’s meeting is our annual Holiday potluck party.  This will be our first time at our new location and I think it will work out really nice.  First of all you DO NOT have to bring your own place setting.  We will use paper plates but real silverware courtesy of our new home. 

Remember to bring something brunch like to share.  We will have coffee, tea and lemon water to drink. 

Spring Knitting Retreat — there are a few openings for the retreat if anyone was still thinking of joining.  Dates are Thursday, April 10^th thru Sunday April 13^th. 

Sunday Knitting – We are always at the Broadway Coffeehouse from 1 – 4 each Sunday.  Come join us if you want to knit with friends and/or learn any new techniques.
