Color Techniques III Wk 3

The main focus was intarsia this week. Linda went over the do's and don't's of intarsia design from our packets. We will have one more class of intarsia, then we will move on to Fair Isle. This 3d session will wrap up with entrelac in May.
Please note that there is no class next week, Apr 21.

Karen's cute intarsia sweater in the making.

Finger Puppets
Can you believe it? The due date for the finger puppets is just around the corner, May 5. It would be ideal if they could be done by the next class, Apr 28, so pictures can be taken for the wrist bands.

Guild
We spent some time talking about starting a guild in Placer County. Lorna Miser is interested in starting one and wanted to know if there was any interest, and Linda wanted to know if we wanted to have the guild in place of her classes. Many of the ladies decided that they were interested in being a part of both. One of the reasons for the guild is to reach more ladies who only want to meet once a month instead of weekly and who may not be a part of Linda's classes. It will also take more commitment from members to head various responsibilities, but the annual dues are very low.

Summer Plans
We also had a fun time talking about places to meet this summer. Teri is planning the World Wide Knit in Public Day for one of the Saturdays in June; it will be the first event held in Auburn. Linda L. suggested we meet in So Lake Tahoe and spend a night in a 5-bedroom house that she rented recently near Tahoe Keys. Debi knows a 100 yr old place that we can stay in SF with 28 bedrooms for a good price! Irene suggested we go to the 2d Annual Oakland Fiber & Textfile Festival on July 10 sponsored by local art and craft shops. See information on some of these events under "Knitting Events."

For Show N Tell, Linda L. took her time (hee, hee) to show us her latest finished projects. Here is her SW link scarf that she felted and a sweater that was started by Bea.

Linda also made this beautiful scarf from Katia Triana yarn.

Teri models a lovely cape/shawl that Pat made for a bride.

Kelly made these two adorable Comfort Dolls (one for the guild and one for her daughter's school, I think). One of the Sacramento Knitting Guild ladies will pick the dolls up for us to use as packing for meds sent to Africa. Please use dark color yarn for skin color for dolls going to Africa.

Debi finished this colorful silk scarf.

Linda M. made this nice scarf a few years ago. Yes, we have 3 Linda's.

Happy knitting and Happy Easter!
