MKG Knitting Library
MKG Cable Gram - Volume 17, Number 4
After months of planning and preparation, the final pieces of the Textile Center Library are coming together! As I write this article (in mid-November), the search is on for a professional librarian. Computers and software are being purchased, many feet of new bookshelves have been ordered, and the search for donated tables and chairs has been successful.

Registration for Yarnover 2010
This is the event you have all been waiting for! In just a few short weeks — Saturday, April 17, to be exact — knitting royalty from around the country will be converging at Hopkins High School for a day of learning, fun, and stash enhancement. This is the MKG's 24th annual Yarnover, and for many members it kicks off the spring. The most difficult choice is which of the three- to six-hour classes to take. If workshops aren’t your thing, be sure to check out our ever-popular market, where wonderful goodies await your perusal. New this year, you can come and just see the keynote speaker for $5 (exact change please), if you do not wish to take any classes.
Get the most out of your love of knitting! Membership benefits include pre-registration for Yarnover, a subscription to our quarterly Cable Gram, organized public service projects and camaraderie with fellow knitters. Annual dues are $30.
