Color Techniques II Wk 5

Happy Birthday February Valentines!

Linda went over the twine knitting handout and demonstrated this technique. We spent the evening learning the cast on and beginning a sample.

We voted on learning the Helix knitting next week instead of spending another week on twine knitting. Feel free to go at your own pace though.

Stitches West
We need to be on the bus promptly at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb 19. The bus will be behind Raley's in Auburn near the Foresthill exit.

Future Special Meetings
Linda announced that Lorna Miser, the president of Camellia City Stockinettes in Sacramento, invited us to show our state flowers, celebrity icons, and knitted bras to their members. The date will probably be on April 2 (a Saturday).

Linda and her sister, Nola, are also coming up with some special classes in June. Some of the classes will be at Linda's house. Classes will be on making a hook rug, a wagon wheel rug, a rag rug made with a toothbrush, projects using scrap yarns, and a luncheon made by Nola. A sign up sheet is available for either a weekday or weekend.

Show 'n Tell
I'm sorry I forgot my camera this week. Some of the Show 'n Tell included:
Diane's blue neck warmer;
Cheryl's XO shadow knitting sample;
Kelly's dog bone shadow knitting sample;
Sandy's round place mat;
Vickie's vest, a fused-lined bag, a felted shadow knitting sample, and a felted crocheted sample;
Rosemary's news boy hat, and
Cynthia's shadow knitting hat and a soft sweater.

Happy Knitting!
