Hi to all,

I hope everyone is taking it easy this week because it is going to be a hot one.  Time to get ready for El Paso's summer.  This week we are meeting at the Pat O'Rourke Recreational Center at 901 North Virginia on Saturday, May 16 at 11:00AM. We will continue our discussion of gauge finishing with row gauge and move into ease.  There is some homework.  Please knit a swatch with your superwash yarn that is at least 4 by 4 inches.  Measure the gauge before it is blocked and again after it is blocked and dried.  We will then move into a discussion of ease.

Remember to bring your squares for the blanket, your charity projects,  and any yarn or goodies that you might have for New and Used Treasures.

I know that there are too many people on my mailing list so if you are not a member of the Guild this year, will you let me know so I can remove your name from my roster.  Any ideas where to have dinner one night and knit this summer.  I just read about West7th in Fort Worth who had a knitting event at the movies where knitters watched the new movie with Hugh Jackman, The Sheep Detectives.

See you on Saturday,

Helene- Vice President
