MKG-Meeting  April Guild Meeting

WHY WE KNIT AND WHAT IT DOES FOR US

This presentation speaks to what knitting does for us—from alleviating boredom, to engaging in the creative process, to enhanced health and longevity, through other benefits we might not expect or take for granted. But in addition to the science that supports all this great stuff, we will look at why we knit what we do: what do we hope to accomplish with the projects we choose? In this part of the talk, we look at knitting as it relates to global economics and as it models good citizenship. Yes, truly, we will do all this!

Sally Melville

Sally Melville has published seven knitting books (including THE KNIT STITCH (which has sold over 250,000 copies and been translated into French and Russian), has taught four Craftsy classes, and has travelled extensively (for 25 years) to teach her craft—speaking to wonderful folk who can appreciate the perfect buttonhole, who love the textures and colors and techniques of knitting, who want to be more intuitive about their craft, and who know that life is about learning.

Meetings are free to attend and open to the public, however we encourage you to join the Guild so we can continue to offer programs like these!
