From Gillian B., Vice President
Our visit to Trendsetter Yarns was a big success. Our group of about 15 people was rather small to justify
Trendsetter’s opening the warehouse on the weekend; but some folks came fromThe Knitting Tree too so things worked out fine. Bruce & Alicia came from The Knitting Tree to facilitate the retail purchases.
There was quite a queue to ring things up!
Our business meeting was REALLY short. Then we had a presentation from
Barry Klein showing some new yarns and garments, including some great ideas
and knitting hacks. He’s a great teacher. Here’s Barry demonstrating a sweater
worked in a drop stitch pattern, and another tee painted with bleach (really).
Aaand we shopped… Of course I bought some yarn!
Do you want to see what people bought? It would be great if people who shopped
could bring their purchases to Show & Share next meeting. Let’s take a group
photo.
October Program: Organizing Crafting Stuff
For our October meeting, have a discussion on Organizing Your Crafting Supplies. It would be great for October’s discussion if members could bring examples of their favorite items for organizing craft items (or pictures if the organizing system is too large).
We’ll talk about everything from project bags to closet dividers and everything in between.
Knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving and other crafts all welcome.
This is not a lecture type event, it’s more like the Yarn Tasting programs we did before.
So please bring your organization tips to the meeting and help make this a successful day!
