It feels like spring is coming..

Does it to you too? Or maybe I am totally off and it’s already here and I have been glued to Netflix too long to realize what day it actually is.

Anyway… it is time or has been for awhile to dust off this site and see what we can do to add some fun into the group.

I have found a new Calendar plug in. It seems to be working much better. shhhh I shouldn’t have said that out loud. knock on wood it continues to not disappoint. I will be adding events to the calendar as the weeks roll by and hopefully will be able to add live in person to the categories list!! Won’t that be fun?

I am really looking forward to getting together again in person and to when we can share our work in progress and our finished projects with each other.

As a way to test out a new photo gallery plug in I dug back into the history files and made a little gallery of photos as a blast from the past.

Lets see how this goes…

A couple of things to tweak, but it’s fun looking back.

I will be adding a few of these in the coming weeks. We have lots of stuff in the archive.

All guild members watch your email box. I will be sending out nomination info in the next day or so.

Thanks,

Cindy

Hello everyone,

I am not feeling particularly witty this evening, but I thought since we are working out the kinks in our various social media outlets and some of you have gone through the process of subscribing,  I thought I would post a little something to test out the notification process and to let you know, we are dusting off this site.

Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival  2017 just ended this past weekend and most of the podcasters I try to keep up with have probably just gotten back home and haven’t caught their breath yet.  While I wait to hear how things went I thought I would post this video from last year.  It is about an hour long, so don’t watch the whole thing unless you want to.  This really is just a test post.  Click the link below if you want to watch.

Talk to you all again soon.

August 2016

August has always been sort of bitter-sweet for me.  It signaled the end of summer break and time to go buy new school clothes for my ever-growing son,  along with that we would alway try to squeeze in one last hurrah, even if it was only a long 3 day weekend. Those school days have passed by a few years now, but I still do feel August marks some kind of change in my attitude.  Sort of time to get back to work,  I said sort of..   Right now all I can think of is knitting.  Finishing my cardigan for Ravellenics and getting it off in the mail on time.   That and the upcoming retreat in September,  that is what’s on my mind.

Last Saturday we had our August meeting. Minus Suzanne, minus Kate, minus Jacki, minus Laura, minus Renee….  all members who at one time or another have run the meetings,  I wondered, “Who is gonna be in charge today?”

20160813_091611

What can I say,  Cathy’s years in teaching have served her well.   Thorough, to the point and entertaining too.   Great Job Cathy.

Kathy A. did a short demo on making buttons out of yarn and curtain rings.  I have seen something similar and have wanted to try it.  What Kathy showed seemed a little more to the point, so I will put curtain rings on my shopping list and then be ready to go next time I need buttons.

Amanda did a presentation on a few things you can do on Ravelry, and from the looks of the number of people who were on Ravelry from our group Saturday afternoon,  I think it inspired a few members to get signed up, or nose around a bit.  Yay Amanda!  Well done.

Reminders:  Next Saturday  August 20th,  Social knitting Southwest branch of the library on Ming Ave.  9am to noon.

Fair entries,  paperwork and entry fees.  August 26th.  ( I am pretty sure that is the date, but double-check that if you are entering.)

Next Guild meeting.  September 10th, 2016.

Knitting retreat. September 16th -18th.

Til next time,  (((((((((     )))))))))  Hugs to all.

 

Show and Tell

And we are Marching on…

I will be posting our show and tell photos from the March guild meeting very “soon”   I did want to get on and post the flyer for our upcoming Knitting EXPO.  I will be printing up flyers so everyone can have a few to print up on your workplace bulletin boards or post at your favorite hang out spots.  I know some of our members found us via our previous EXPO’s

2016 Expo flyer ver4

The expo has been listed in about 1/2 dozen of the local online community calendars, but pass the word onto your friends.  We would love to have a great turn out.  I am curious to see if having it indoors this year will have a chance in attendance.
