Adorable Baby Surprise Set by Louise
If you weren't in class this week, you missed Stevie Wonder!
Karen M. brought Stevie Wonder to class.
Look at the details; great job Karen!
We went over a couple of handouts this week. One was on placing zippers and the other was on fiber terminology and how to take care of wool garments. Also extra handouts that Linda had from the last three years were placed on the table for our taking; anything left was thrown out after class.
Linda taught us a great tip. If you have to “cleanse” a project and the yarn is grabby, place it in the freezer for a couple of hours. It will cleanse easily.
Potluck
Next week is our last class. We will have a potluck and Olympic knitting games. Linda will bring plates and silverware. Bring a dish, your own beverage, size 8 needles, and a wrapped gift valued at $5 or less for game prizes. Participation in the games is optional, but most showed interest in the games.
Knitted Icons
Linda needed phone numbers of everyone participating in the icon challenge. She brought the book to class so we could take a look at patterns we needed. Diana is inviting all icon makers to her house on May 21 to work on the dolls. She will email the address and directions before then.
It is finished! Adam and Eve by Linda
Club Locations
A discussion took place of other locations to look into. Teri called the library and found out that we must be a nonprofit group and can only reserve space once a month. Other suggestions were First Congregational Church, First Baptist Church on Bell Rd, Gold Country Mall - 3d Floor, a studio down the street from our classroom, Indian Center on Indian Hill Rd, and The Lighthouse Church.
Yarn for the Dominican Republic
Sarah sent us an email this week asking for a favor. If you would like to donate yarn which will be sent to the Dominican Republic in May, please bring it next week. She would like to stay away from the really yucky "Red Heart" old stiff acrylic yarns that are in solid, bright colors like Fire Engine Red and Harsh neon Yellow. Other synthetics and blends are great, especially any wools, novelty yarns, soft/fuzzy variegated, textured yarns. It is exciting to be a part of an effort to help ladies earn money in this country. Please respond to Sarah with questions.
