Hello everyone! Just a little reminder that we are having Jack of Lion Brand Yarn as our guest this month. We haven't seen him in a while and are very excited for his return. In the past, he's brought samples of new and current yarns and explained how some of the yarn is manufactured. Please come a little early so you may find a seat. We'd like to start the meeting as soon as we can so he can go through his presentation. Afterwards, we'll have show and tell.

See you on Thursday!

Angela.

JUST A REMINDER about the AUGUST MEETING:

To our newest members, guests, and friends,

CATCH UP!!!

Hello all. Sorry for the absence! We had a little technical problem. All is well though and we will try to start posting again.

Much has happened since our last post I hardly know where to start...how about at the Huntington Sheep to Shawl Festival the board members attended on April 27. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend everyone goes next year.

Our next big event was our first bus trip to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Can you say...

'sensory overload'? It was a great day. Here are some pictures:

It was a wonderful day of laughing, talking, walking, browsing, buying, touching and just being all together. One of the things I enjoyed the most was picking out a raffle prize. Each board member picked a little something up at the festival. On the way home everyone had a chance to win one of them. It was great fun. We are hopeful of planning another trip soon!

JANUARY 13TH MEETING - POT LUCK DINNER
