Linda demonstrated double knitting with a special cast on, and we practiced making a swatch in class. A 4-page handout was distributed. She would like us to make at least one coaster from one of the patterns. This technique can be knit closed for a scarf/potholder or opened on one end for a pouch.
Next Week: Nola's Challenge is Due
We will continue double knitting, and remember Nola's Challenge is due! We will be judging each other for prizes.
Sacramento City Visit
A sign up sheet for the April 2 visit to the Sacramento City Camellia (SCC) Knitting Guild led by Lorna Miser was passed around. Linda would like to know how many are coming and what projects will be available to show.
River Cats Stitch n Pitch
The SCC is planning to attend the Stitch n Pitch at the River Cats game this Spring. We are invited to come too. Linda needs to know how many are interested in going so the SCC can purchase tickets.
Finger Puppets Deadline
The deadline for the state fair application is due mid April. We will need a few puppets finished for photos to send in with the application. This challenge is due the first Thursday in May.

A photo of Nola's rug is on her website: www.nolahooks.com. Even if you do not take this class, we are invited to come and knit.
