New Free Patterns for MKG Members

Posted in News by Kathy Lewinski on Mar 29th, 2017

One of the perks of being a Minnesota Knitters’ Guild Member is free patterns!

Visit the Exclusive Pattern Page of the Members Area to download these three winning patterns from our Great Guild Getaway Design Contest.

Whispering White Pines Socks by Elise Frederick 

 

Lace Cowl with Faux Cabled Edge by Jane Niemi 

 

Minnesota Mosquito Socks by Anna Smegal 

All of the patterns were designed to use our 2017 Great Guild Getaway Yarn, North Shore Winter, which was custom dyed by Three Irish Girls. We will have a limited quantity of the yarn available for sale at the Guild table at Yarnover.

Stitch N Pitch with the Twins is sold out!

Posted in News by Kathy Lewinski on Mar 4th, 2017
 
Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. We have sold out all the tickets we had for our section. 
 
On Sunday, May 7th, join the Minnesota Knitters' Guild for an afternoon of baseball and knitting! The Twins will be taking on the Boston Red Sox at Target Field at 1:10pm. Tickets are on sale here.
 
MKG has 40 tickets in the Great Clips section, this section is on the main level in right field. All the seats are stools with backs and have a small table (drink rail) in front of them. If it gets too chilly (it is early May after all), there are heat lamps to the back of the section. 
 
How much: Tickets cost $38.00. Each ticket is loaded with $10 worth of credit that can be used to buy food and drinks at the game. You can purchase with Paypal or credit/debit card. 
 
Who: Guild members are welcome to bring non-Guild members with them. 
 
What to bring: Weather appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and your knitting, of course!
 
Deadline: Tickets are on sale through Monday, April 3rd. Buy tickets here.
 
Refunds: Refunds are not available. If you find you can't make it, you can give the ticket to someone else.
 
The MN Twins require we sell at least 25 tickets by April 3rd in-order to get the group rate and section. If we do not reach this amount by the deadline this event will be cancelled and everyone will be refunded.
 
Tickets: We will have actual physical Twins tickets. You will be contacted about delivery of those tickets closer to the date.
 
By the way, the Twins are giving away tote bags to the first 5,000 fans that day.
