Linda asked us if we wanted to start a new project next week. The class was divided. So, Linda will bring a fast project that we can do in class, the wine cozy. This is a good stash buster. Bring leftover sock yarn and size 3 dpns. It is knitted in the round. She also showed us the future projects using melted plarn and video tape.
She asked us if we wanted a night for ATCs. I think we decided to wait a couple of weeks to give everyone time to knit a piece, 2-1/2 by 3-1/2. Teri found an ATC rubber stamp and donated it to the class. She also donated an ink pad, cardboard backing, and plastic sleeves. Thank you, Teri!
Adopt a President
There are about 13 presidents left without an owner. Please adopt one or two. Louise ordered the skin tone color Cascade 220. Linda would like feedback on other colors that we might use a lot such as black or brown, etc. She also suggested that we use Mountain Mist for the stuffing.
Congratulations to Sandy and Linda L. for answering last week's presidential trivia questions. This week's question is: who was the shortest president and how short was he?
Candi and Diana brought their celebrity dolls, Amelia Earhart and Barbara Eden
Stitches West
Linda reserved a bus for Saturday, Feb. 25. We can start signing up for the bus in Dec. The check for the bus will not be cashed until Feb. 1, but it will hold your seat.
Linda L. suggested that we all wear the same shirt such as a T-shirt with a silk screen design. Diana suggested that we have a shirt with "Knotty Knitters" in rhinestone and "Auburn" in a stitch. Both ladies will look into this for us. We will vote on a color. Some colors suggested were black, turquoise, red, royal blue, lime, hot pink, and purple.
Our Future
We will stay with ARD until May. Linda will decide later whether to stay with ARD or return to Placer School for Adults for the Fall session. She would like to spend time calculating the numbers for the fee to make it reasonable for everyone.
Some of Linda's projects come from these two books.
Rosemary's gloves
Lynette's Comfort Dolls
Karen M. is back from vacation. She bought buffalo yarn in Oklahoma. It costs $69.99.
Cynthia made these color print outs on the computer. She emailed them to the group this week.
These are for the side panels or handles. Thank you, Cynthia!
Diane mentioned that a couple of parents at her school is selling dyed yarn. The website is www.ladybugfiber.etsy.com.
Diana will be at the Peddlar's Fair this Sunday in Roseville. She will have a booth near the entrance. The time is from 8 am to 3 pm at the Antique Grove on Harding right next to Clam Jumpers. She also mentioned that Auburn will have its Fall Festival at Rec Park on Saturday. She will be dressed as a fairy at that event.
Happy knitting!
