Christine’s ‘Stay On’ baby booties – and a gentle reminder
Jun 7th, 2010 by JorahLavin

A couple of meetings ago, Cristi showed some tiny baby shoes that she said stay on very well. We asked her to send us the information about them, and here we are with the ‘follow-up.’

Cristi said…

The pattern is Christine’s Stay On Baby Booties.  Here’s the link:

They’re so quick and simple.  I need to start another pair.  They’re fun!

On the Fuzzy Galore site, the post mentions… This pattern was published in Threads no 22 (April 89) in a letter to the editor from Christine Bourquin. She was at the time 95 and living in Redwood City CA, still knitting, and expressed the desire to have her pattern live on.

Our wonderful Charities Coordinator, Jeanie, suggested that these would make excellent items for the Florence Crittenton center, and that you could cast on a pair while having fun at our Knit in Public day this Saturday, June 12.

Stitch-N-Pitch

As a side note, we heard from Betsey at Baskets of Yarn that they’re having a ‘stitch n’ pitch’ event at the Knights that same evening. She wrote:

Letting you know about a Stitch-N-Pitch event we have set up with the Charlotte Knights on Saturday, June 12. Here are the details we have…

  • Saturday, June 12
  • 6:00pm-7:15pm Buffet BBQ dinner at the ballpark
  • 7:15pm game starts
  • Fireworks after the game!

Tickets are General Admission and we usually sit up top behind 3rd base where we can usually spread out a little!  We have registration available on our website at www.basketsofyarn.com. People can register just for tickets for $7 each OR for BBQ buffet and ticket $25. If they register on-line we will have the tickets available for pick-up at Baskets of Yarn, or we can mail them to people.

(not a Guild event, but let us know if you go!)

Next Knitting Guild Meeting – Tuesday, June 1
May 28th, 2010 by JorahLavin

Hello Charlotte Knitting Guild Members!

Our next meeting is Tuesday, June 1st. Many people find that meetings on the first of the month “sneak up on them,” so put this one on your calendar!

June’s program will be a cast-on clinic. Bring some smooth, sport-weight or heavier yarn and appropriate needles and we’ll see if we can add a new technique to our skill sets.

Annual Elections: The Guild’s members elected a new Board during the May meeting. The new board is:

  • President: Jet LeBlanc
  • Vice President: Heather Storta
  • Treasurer: Gina Barrett
  • Secretary: Jorah Lavin
  • Volunteer/Charity Coordinator: Jeanie Hanover
  • Special Event Coordinator: Davey Roberson

Our past president is Cristi Brockway.

In other news: We’re still collecting items for the Florence Crittenton home. Bring any washcloths, baby items, or other crafted things of use to a new mom. Items for the moms is welcome, don’t restrict yourself to baby items. Jeanie, our Charity Coordinator, wrote to me “…ask the members to start thinking about this year’s charity project.  We can continue with Florence Crittenton, or if someone has a charity that they feel particularly  passionate about we can consider it as well.  Thank you!  -Jeanie” We might consider switching charities after the New Year, or supporting more than a single charity.

SAVE THE DATE

The Charlotte Knitting Guild’s World Wide Knit in Public Day event will be held Saturday, June 12! The Guild will once again be sponsoring an event at the Books-a-Million in the Cotswold Shopping Center. If I have the system figured out, there should be a poster attached which you can hang up in your LYS.
