November Meeting Highlights
Program – Emotional Support Chickens
It was all about ESC (Emotional Support Chickens). Knitters brought chickens of all sizes they had knit for this knitting craze. Many had given their chickens as gifts but had taken photos of them. So, we had a PowerPoint presentation to learn all about our brood. It was an entertaining program.
Guild Business: We had no volunteers to become Secretary or Treasurer next year, so we didn’t have an election.
Show & Tell
- Kathy Goebel shared a Gramps cardigan and a cable hat in Lion Brand Wool Ease yarn
- Sue Culbertson shared a Garden cardigan in a light sage green with yarn she got from a yarn shop in McMinnville
- Sandy Galbraith shared a knitted lace Denim Tee top
- Mary Joos shared a cardigan sweater and the book she got the pattern from the book Ziggurats
Upcoming Events
December 2024 Meeting
This month, on December 14, please bring some knitting tips that you have found useful. We all have little things that help us. Be prepared to share a few words about a tip that helps you.
I always use the saying, “King Philips Purple Knickers.” (You will have to come to the Guild meeting to find out what it means.)
Or, do you have websites that you like? What is your favorite feature of Ravelry? I am always looking up stuff. Anything you could pass on to help other people.
It is time to pay dues for the 2025 year. Due to regulations by the State of Oregon, we don’t deposit the money until January, but you can bring your check or cash ($30) anytime. We use this money to rent our room monthly, cover correspondence, purchase business cards, printing, and mileage for presenters, or for a speaker. Please send dues to P.O. Box 3444, Salem, OR 97302. Forms for both renewal and application for membership are included in this newsletter for your convenience.
