A Note from Our President
Minnesota Knitters' Guild Cable Gram, Volume 24, Number 1
At the time I am writing this, it is Chinese New Year, and I notice that 2008 is the Year of the Rat. In my knitting year, however, it seems like 2008 is going to be the Year of the Purse.
I try to be an organized knitter. I organize my stash according to its purpose: future projects; leftover yarn from completed projects; yarn that has no real purpose but was on sale (this is mostly Wool-Ease or Red Heart). Each year I make a comprehensive list of projects that I hope to complete based on what is lurking in my stash. I have never gotten close to finishing everything my list, but I feel like I will get more done if I commit some of my projects to paper.
Knitting Meets Weaving
Of course weavers and knitters have a lot in common, but it's not often that we get to explore those commonalities. This fall and winter, the Weavers Guild of Minnesota (which shares an address with the Minnesota Knitters' Guild: the Textile Center at 3000 University Ave. SE., Minneapolis) offers two classes designed to foster cross-cultural growth.
Get the most out of your love of knitting! Membership benefits include pre-registration for Yarnover, organized public service projects and camaraderie with fellow knitters. Annual dues are $30.
