Reminder, the Guild Meeting is tonight at 7pm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Everyone!

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, January 5th. Our guest speaker will be Michael del Vecchio from Universal Yarn. He is the author of ‘Knitting with Balls: A Hands-On Guide to Knitting for the Modern Man’ and a regular columnist with ‘Knit ‘n Style’ magazine. His writing and published designs have appeared in various magazines and publications.

In addition, Michael is a skilled technical editor of knitting patterns. He is the primary technical editor for ‘Knit ‘n Style’ magazine and has worked with various individual designers, authors, yarn companies, and publishers to edit and size patterns and draw charts and schematics.

For our program, Michael will be teaching us another colorwork technique – Fair Isle! For this program, we have a little homework before the meeting.

Materials for the event are:
1 16” circular needle
2 colors of a dk weights of wool or a wool blend (Dolce Merino is great, of course)!

Students should choose which color should be the motif color and which color is the background color (or the MC), then, cast on 92 sts onto the circular needle (I like a long tail cast on, but its students’ choice).

We’ll pick up right there with starting to learn the two handed technique.

The meeting, as usual, is at Providence Baptist Church, 4921 Randolph Rd, 28211. Park on the Sardis Road side & go in the covered entrance. Turn right through the rotunda to find the stairs or elevator, go to the second floor and take the short flight of stairs to the upstairs parlor.

Show and tell will be from 6-7 pm and the program will begin at 7.

See you there!
