October Meeting Highlights
The October meeting got off to a slow start with both the President and Secretary being home sick (thanks to Su Fennern for taking photos). Past President Janet Bubl stepped in at the last minute to lead the meeting.
Su showed the mini sweater for the month, the Long Sleeved Baby (Surprise) Jacket. Adapted from a pattern by Elizabeth Zimmerman, it was designed to be a quick and clever baby sweater. She eventually adapted the pattern to be knit in sizes from infant to adult.
Baby Surprise Jacket is featured in several books by Elizabeth Zimmerman. It was suggested to check your local library for:

Upcoming Events
Mini Sweater ‘Trunk Show’
Both November and December mini sweaters will be shown this month as next month they will be the highlight of a Mini Sweater Trunk Show! If you have a mini “trunk” you can bring to use, that would be great. Here’s an example:
November Meeting
This is our annual election cycle and we will be electing a President by ballot. All members present may vote.
November Program
Several members are bringing patterns for simple holiday decorations to knit. Members can sit and knit on their own projects or try a couple of these new ones. Please bring some extra yarn and corresponding needles for a wreath, candy cane, or snowflake, for example.
Magic at the Mill
Sign-ups will be available to work evening shifts December 19 – 23 (5:30 – 8 PM) for this magical Salem event. Details will be available at the November and December meetings. Thanks to Debbie Juul for coordinating this for us.
