It was the official last class of the spring session and also presentation night. We spent most of the class learning about each president or the reasons for choosing a particular president and the props.

Before the presentations, Linda went over altering a pattern by showing us a sweater she plans to make and how she plans to make changes to it. If you plan to change the yarn weight, go up or down only 1 size. For example, not sock to chunky, but worsted to sport is okay. It is very important to gauge.

Next Week is free knit night. Linda will be on an Alaskan cruise, but we have permission to meet at ARD for a night of knitting. Linda L says we will party, so Linda P will be checking the blog for photos.

Sip and Knit, June 7, 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Linda drew a map on the white board of the Power Mansion Inn location. You come to their parking lot first, and then you must walk down the hill to the entrance. It is the first parking lot on the right on Harrison from Elm.

Fall Class
Linda hopes to see all of us in the Fall. She found the coolest book with wild and fun patterns from Sweden to share with us.

State Fair
No news yet, but June 1 is the pick up date if our presidents don't make it into the fair. We should hear from the judges in a week.  As of Sunday, May 27, we heard that we placed 1st at the State Fair! Congratulations, everyone!

Teri's Summer Knit In, July 21 (Saturday)
A sign up sheet is available for Teri's summer knit together. Add your email address to the sign up sheet in case she has any changes or additions to make during the summer. We will be bringing our knitting and sack lunches. She will provide drinks, desserts, and snacks. We will arrange carpools before that time.

Summer Idea
Debi shared with us that she attended the Yarn Tasting Cafe in SF that was great. It was on the third floor with a good view. The shop specializes in custom yarn for an inexpensive price. She was thinking that we should spend a weekend in SF, and she will look into it.

Sue made this cute hat. The back of the hat has a very beautiful design.

Here is another hat that Sue made. It is lovely.

Karen made a pair of socks in a week.

Hope to see you at the next two meetings.  But if not, Happy Summer Knitting!
