If you missed this week, one of our super talented knitter had a huge announcement. We were so excited and delighted that I forgot to write down the details, so here goes from memory. This person entered a contest in Green Craft magazine this summer taking old scarves and recycling them into other items. She entered a belt, a bag, and other things I wish I remembered. After much anticipation, she finally heard from them this week and found out that she won! Not only that, they were so impressed that the magazine wants to feature her work in an article in the Feb. issue! Warmest congratulations to Teri!

Operation Contact Cheryl
Remember Cheryl, the lovely knitter who made several felted bags? Linda requested for several of us to email her to invite her to our party.
Presidents
Linda is almost done. She offered to help us with the shoes, and she brought a wonderful book to help embroider the presidents' faces. Louise brought more yarn. Trivia question: Which president remained a bachelor?

The bus is already 1/3 full. Linda is taking sign ups. Checks will be cashed on Feb 1 with no refunds after that.
New Session
Next week is our last session for 2011. The new session begins Jan. 5. Linda gave us the handout for the first project with high hopes that we will return. The first project is a felted roll-up pouch for knit notions and a yarn caddy with four separate dividers. You will need 4 skeins of Cascade 220 or Lamb's Pride.
Fundraiser at Meadow Farms Yarn Shop
Sue announced that there will be a fundraiser at Meadow Farms in Nevada City on Dec. 10 to help with expenses from the tragic car accident overseas. They are accepting donations of knitted/crocheted items and baking goods before then and/or would like people to come to buy.
Pattern for Llama or Alpaca Toy Doll
Diane's granddaughter wants to know if anyone knows of a knit pattern for a llama or alpaca toy doll.
For show n tell, I didn't take pictures of everything; there were so many.
Mother/Daughter beaded wire bracelets (Carol and Jennifer). Carol made the scarf too.
Candi was busy making baby gifts, a dishcloth, and a beret.
Rosemary knitted two matching baby sweaters and finished the cross stitch pillow!
Very festive, Sandy's dishcloth
Sandy also knitted a wire basket and another pretty dishcloth.
Judith finished this beautiful dishcloth. She is making a smaller one to match in a 1/2 linen stitch.
You can see a little of it to the right.
