We Swapped!

Last night was the first meeting in the year 2008 for the Guild, and we saw lots of new faces mixed in with our old friends. Those who came were greeted by our 'Welcome Table' that had fresh baked cookies as well as membership forms and other guild information.

Two door prizes were given out last night. Every meeting in 2008 will have a drawing for a door prize. The winner must be a member of the guild in good standing who is in attendance that evening. January winners were Miss Judy and Miss Sheila.

After some short business announcements, we moved right into the swap. Members brought yarn and other related knitting items that they no longer wanted, and left with items they did want. What a great way to bust your stash and go shopping for free!

We got a chance to make some new friends as well as be inspired by some great projects during a 'get to know you session'. Many of our new visitors to the guild joined our membership by the end of the meeting, and we are glad to have them!

Next up for the guild is a Super Bowl 'pre-game knit' on Feb. 3rd from 1-3pm at the Daily Grind in Fulton, MD. The first 21 knitters to arrive with an NFL logo will receive a small gift. Bring a friend along who has never been to the guild!

Our next meeting will be Wednesday February 2oth from 7-9pm. We will be having a hands on entralac class presented by Miss Margaret. We will still be accepting membership forms at this meeting, so feel free to join us if you are not yet a member.

Don't forget the Felted Clog class being presented this Saturday at the Lakeside Cafe from 10am-4pm. See you there.
