March Meeting

Hello all! Just a reminder that the next meeting of the Central Maryland Knitting Guild will be on Wed. March 19th from 7-9 pm.

Everyone is excited about socks, and the guild is going to join into the craze for the month of March. Our presentation for the meeting is sock heels! Miss Cathy has been working hard on a number of heel turns to show you and I hope to have a couple myself.

Remember, all guild members in attendence are eligible for the monthly door prize. This month Miss Stacey has donated some Blue Moon Fiber sock yarn for the door prize. (Are you seeing a theme here?)

Also this month is the unveiling of our NEW GUILD LOGO!!!! T-shirts and sweatchirts with the logo will be ready for purchase a the April meeting so that you can wear your guild shirts to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in May. Be sure to be at the March meeting so that you can see what they will look like.

As always, all are welcome to our meetings so bring along a friend!

Hope to see you there.
