Finger Puppets to Gold Country Fair

Hi everyone. Here is a FYI from Diana:

"Hey Girls -
The Finger Puppets are entered into the Gold Country Fair.
I am having Rosemary pick them up from the State Fair on Fri Aug 5 or Sat Aug 6 as I will be out of town. I will get them from her after that and I will make sure they are delivered to the GCF on Tues. Aug 23rd. Judging is Weds Aug 24. The fair opens Thurs Sept 8 and closes Sun Sept 11 and I will pick up the puppets on Mon Sept 12. I entered them under Home Arts/Clothes and Textiles/Division 152 Knitting/Class 8 Any Other. Under Arts and Crafts there was no knitting category, only under Home Arts.
Hope you all are enjoying your summers! D"

Sorry No Photos

Irene wasn't able to attend the July gatherings, so she doesn't have any photos. Karen M. wrote about the state fair visit, "The people loved our puppets!!"

Yeah! Happy knitting!

New Plan for July Gatherings

Update to yesterday's entry

On Jul 14, 2011, at 08:31 PM, Diana W wrote:
I say we designate a lunch place and time and a fair meeting spot and time and everyone is on their own to get there....carpooling with whoever you contact yourself rather than make it a group organized thing.

And for the picnic, just bring whatever...it always works out.
Just my 2 cents....for what it's worth, which ain't much!
PS I would prefer to not drive this time and will kick in a few bucks if anyone can stand me in their car.

I think Diana's ideas are great! I assume we would picnic at same park as last year: Auburn Park near Auburn-Folsom Rd (on Racetrack Rd -- at the stop sign, turn left. You will see park on the left side. Go straight back to the deadend parking lot. Turn left up the hill to the covered picnic tables.)

Also please invite any knitting friends, especially those that might be interested in our class. Bring projects for "show & tell."

Please contact one another directly since e-mails are difficult for me as I am limited to one finger typing with my left hand.

The updated list is on yesterday's blog entry below. Please take pictures for the blog and send them to Irene. Thank you.

Need Coordinator for July Gatherings

You may have heard that Linda L. is recovering from wrist surgery after taking a tumble while on vacation. She has been grounded for now and needs someone to coordinate the carpool for the state fair and a food list for the picnic. Her doctor also said "no knitting!" Her cell phone is not working, but she may be contacted via her home phone or email. I would also appreciate getting photos from these events for the blog.

State Fair & Picnic: Diane A, Candi D, Karen M, Rosemary P, Cynthia P, Diana W, Louise I, and Linda P.

Picnic: In addition to the above, Cheryl D, Vickie T, Sandy T, and Debi S.

Knit Trip
Here are a few pictures from Irene's trip to the 2d Annual Fiber & Textile Arts Festival in Oakland.



Knit and enjoy!

July Gatherings

Linda L. sent us an email this week. It says, "Hi Knotty Knitters

We have dates for our July Gatherings:

July 18th-Monday: State Fair & Lunch. State Fair opens at noon with early lunch before.

July 19th-Tuesday: Picnic in Auburn. Afternoon/evening (details later)

Let me know if you want to be included in these events and which parts you can attend. We will be able to view our Finger Puppets at the State Fair and catch up on "Show & Tell" Summer knitting projects at the Picnic.

I will send out another e-mail when I hear from you so we might arrange meeting and carpooling for the State Fair and what to bring for food for the picnic. Let me know if there is something special you wish to bring for the picnic, and I will let you know what else we need.

Hope everyone is having a great summer."

Happy 4th of July

Happy Birthday July knitters and Happy 4th of July!

Wagon Wheel Rug by Rose, who came to class with Irene.

We discovered that it is easier to work on one rug together rather than work on our own rug by ourself. Also she just learned how to knit this week!

Please email me a photo of your WWR.

Knit and enjoy!
