Pop Knit III Wk 6

We looked over Construction No. 2 and a plaid pattern called Apron Designs from the Pop knit book. We went over the handouts: all the constructions of #2 are in garter stitch. The measurements given to us are the following: A is 7 1/2" wide x 33 1/2" L, B is 10" wide x 26 1/2" L, C is 10" wide x 26 1/2" L, D is 17 1/2" wide x 26 1/2" L, E is 20" wide x 9 1/2" L (make two). The Apron Designs are the four in the top right hand corner (2 rows).

Thank You
A big thank you for the potluck last week. Linda says that her husband, Mark, feels like part of the group. He has not knitted since he learned, and he will not do anymore in the future.

Yarn Market NewsAn article about the knitted presidents was featured in Yarn Market News last August. Linda just received a copy in the mail that was shared in class. The website for this free newsletter is www.yarnmarketnews.com/subscribe. However, we discovered that it is for designers.

Blues for Louise
Eight yards of blue yarn is needed for the rug Louise is making. She would like some more of the fuzzy or fun fur type yarn of any shade of blue yarn.

Bon Voyage Party
Mark June 27 on your calendar. That's the date set for the rug viewing party before they are shipped off to the publisher. It is a Thursday evening from 6 to 8:30 pm. You can come earlier if you like since Linda is there from 5 pm. Bring your knitting and some snacks to share.

Art Fibers Trip Postponed
Linda cannot fit this trip into her schedule this year. She can arrange for us to go without her, but it was expressed that we would prefer to go only if she goes.

Linda L. asked if we would like to meet in South Lake Tahoe for a weekend trip this summer. Her daughter has a four-bedroom house, and Irene's little place is just around the corner.

Linda P. mentioned that we put our UFO's (unfinished projects) in a bag that we grap and finish off for the summer. A few said that they are not interested in working on someone else's stuff.

Jake's Party
We decided to have a potluck for Jake's last day. It will be an h'oerderves and dessert potluck on May 30. As a gift, Linda suggested we will pitch in $1 each for a gas card. Karen M. will make the card.

Fall Class
Linda has been picking out patterns for everyone's interest for the Fall Class. The theme is the 4 S's: Sweaters, Shells, Shrugs, and Skirts, plus two books on Cast Ons and Bind Offs.

Show and Tell
There were three beautiful rugs this week.

Happy knitting!
