Upcoming Featured Guild Event:

February 21, 2026

So excited about our February meeting.  We’re having Amy come in person and talk to us about becoming home yarn dyers.  If you’re interested in this unique technique, don’t miss the February meeting.  Check out our website for the complete description.  Bring your notebooks and pens to take notes on how you can become a successful yarn dyer at home.

Joyce is collecting dues for 2026.  They’re $25.00 for the whole year.  A bargain at any price.

The guild has decided to knit shawls as our charity project this year.  If you are interested in participating, try to use acrylic yarn as it is machine washable.  I found a great free pattern from Madelinetosh that uses worsted weight yarn.  It’s called The Mara Shawl 3.0 that is essentially a garter stitch with a ribbed stitch as the border.  If you’re not a fan of of the rib stitch, create your own border.

I hope you were able to download our square pattern for our blanket this year. I’ll try to bring hard copies to the meeting. If you haven’t picked up your Brava yarn yet, we’ll have the remaining skeins at the February meeting.  I’ll also have the three skeins you need for some of the Patty Lyons’ Bag of Tricks lessons.

Sharon Davis and Linda Conner are in charge of our raffle this year so if you would like to donate to our monthly fund raiser it would be greatly appreciated.  New and Used Treasures are back.  I’ve started destashing some of my yarns so you can create beautiful knits.

I’ve contacted Alexandra and she loves the idea of using beads with one of her patterns.  No firm date has been locked in for the Zoom meeting.  As for purchasing yarn from an indie dyer, I will try again with Dawn Barker.  If she does not reply, I’ll contact A Chick that Knitz.

Until the 21st!

Vice President- Helene Solomon

Hope you are able to join us.

The Guild meeting will be held at the Memorial Branch Library, 3200 Copper Street beginning at 11:00 AM.
