April Meeting Minutes
Coral Reef Project
We enjoyed an engaging presentation from Christina Harkness about the Coral Reef Project. We met in the Dye House and had lots of guests! You can read more about the Coral Reef Project on the Salem Millstream Knitting Guild website, including a selection of patterns – both knit and crochet. You can also visit Coral Knit Fiber Arts and click on the “The Community Coral Reef Project” for more information and inspiration.
Aran Learn Along
For 2022, Su Fennern is leading the Salem Millstream Knitting Guild (SMKG) in a year-long Learn Along of Aran knitting stitches, in the form of a sampler scarf. Each month we get a new stitch, and April was the 4 Stitch Cable. In January, information was shared on “How To Work Cables.” More information and the monthly patterns are on the Guild’s Learn Along page.
Upcoming Events
May 14 Field Trip!
May’s program is a field trip to Ewethful Fiber Farm and Mill in Halsey, Oregon. May’s Aran Learn Along Pattern Stitch 5 will be provided in advance, so you can get started on the Irish Moss Stitch when you’re ready. Cindy Barrick has provided research on this stitch that will be included with the pattern instructions. Cindy will be visiting Ewethful Fiber Farm and Mill where she can share other information she might have gained.
For members who will not be going on the field trip, come join us at the Willamette Heritage Center in our normal room, regular meeting time 10:00 a.m. to noon where we will work on the Aran Learn Along Stitch Pattern 5 Irish Moss, or previous stitch patterns, or whatever you might be working on. It’s time to knit and chat.
You can visit the Guild’s website if you have missed a meeting or you are a new member to access all the monthly patterns for the Aran Learn Along.
June Meeting
We’ll be meeting on June 11 from 10 a.m. to noon on the first floor of the Mill building at Willamette Heritage Center. Hope you can join us!
