Dear Members,
Our next meeting will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at the Pat O' Rouke Recreation Center, 901 North Virginia at 11:00 AM. I want to thank Stacey for helping the Guild find a temporary place to meet while construction is going on at the Memorial Branch Library.
How many of you know the 6 most common cast-ons used in knitting? Have you ever heard of the Tillybuddy's Cast-on? This month's program will introduce you to the newest Knitting Magazine called Purl. And because it is the first issue, the editors decided to introduce knitters to all kinds of cast-ons. There are articles from famous knitters, free patterns, and tutorials to teach you how and when to use different kinds of cast-ons. The magazine comes in a hard copy as well as a virtual copy. If you are interested in learning a new cast-on, bring some yarn and needles to practice.
Many thanks to Michelle for helping us with our Holiday party. The dinner will be held at the Italian Kitchen (2923 Pershing) on December 10 and will begin at 5:30. You will have the option to choose one of the following entrees: Spaghetti with Meatball, Green Chile Chicken Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, or Eggplant Parmessan. The meal comes with a choice of tea, soda, or coffee, an antipasto salad, and dessert. If you plan to bring a guest the cost is $25.00 and they become a member of the Guild for the following year. Let me know if you plan to come by the November meeting. Many members turn in their dues for the following year at the Holiday dinner. This is just a reminder in case you forget. I always forget.
Don't forget your charity projects for Stacey. I'll be turning in all the projects that I have collected from everyone at the October meeting. I want to thank everyone who participated in this year's charity program. It looks like it's going to be a great success.
And on a final note, don't forget your new or used treasures. If you have any yarn, project bags, books, or notions that you don't plan to use bring them to the meeting and share with the members.
See you Saturday,
Our Vice President
