April Meeting Recap

4/30/2019

 
At our April meeting we all got a lesson mosaic knitting. Rosie P brought in her copy of Barbara Walker’s book on mosaic knitting along with printed charts and instructions. After a short discussion, guild members got out their yarn and needles to try it out. By the time our meeting was over, a few people had swatches that were pretty far along. We hope to see some finished projects at Show & Share over the next few months.  See the current newsletter for more information on mosaic knitting resources and patterns.  Current newsletters are available to WCKG members only.  Not a member?  Join today!

We also discussed charity knitting and topics for future meetings.

Sam will be able to teach her popular dyeing class at the Welles Park Clubhouse, so stay tuned for more information as we decide on the right month for a class
