Month: February 2015

This Month Colleen McDonough D. C. talked to us regarding ways we can prevent injuries to our hands, elbows, neck and shoulders.  Her talk was very informative and she had some really useful items that we could purchase to improve our posture and hand strength and keep us knitting for many years to come.

She also gave us some exercises to do which only takes a minute but will help to keep our pain to a minimum.  They should be done at least once a hour while knitting.  (Attached to the cover letter)

Next Month – Our speakers are Joy and Martin Dally from Shepherd’s Lane.  They will talk about the history of Teesdale’s and how they became listed as vulnerable.  They will also have yarns of various weights and roving.

This Month we shared old books, patterns and shared information about designers and a little of the history of knitting.  Several of our topics in the coming year will be talking about the history of knitting.

We will also be having a knit along.  The item is a shawl.  If you are using the written pattern you still need the charted pattern.  If using the charted pattern, you do not need the written pattern.  There is a problem with the link through Ravelry but it is being address.  The name is Evolution and it is by Rachael Henry.
