Great Guild Getaway Design Contest Winner
Congratulations to Christine Petterson, the winner of this year's Great Guild Getaway Design Contest.
Christine is an avid knitter as you can see by all the amazing projects on her Ravelry page. For the Great Guild Getaway she designed a shawl that is what she calls a "travel-friendly pattern," easy to memorize without being boring thanks to changes in color or stitches. Perfect to work on while sitting around the fire chatting with other knitters.
Everyone who attends this year's Getaway will receive a copy of the pattern and the custom Campfire yarn that inspired it. The Great Guild Getaway is October 11th - 13th at Camp Knutson. Registration opens Saturday, August 17th. Watch your emails for registration details coming soon.
Textile Center Guild Wall
The Minnesota Knitters' Guild is currently featured on the Guild Wall at the Textile Center. Our theme is knitting at the Minnesota State Fair.
The wall features projects by Guild members that have won ribbons at past fairs. (Just a few of the many. many winners, as last year alone Guild members won eighty-two ribbons!) We've also included a little history of knitting at the fair in the display. You can see it at the Textile Center until August 20th.
