Well, I am sure that many of could never have expected what happened last March, and many probably still don't know what to expect a year and a half later.
We have had a lot of things put on hold, including 'official' guild business. We were meeting on Zoom weekly for social knits, and I apologize for not updating this page about those. But as we slowly progress towards the world reopening, I wanted to update now with details about guild things going forward.
Here are the latest guild happenings:
Tuesday Social knits at the Stella/Lakewalk/POV. 4-6ish.
We have been meeting every Tuesday since June out at Lakewalk. Normally, we have been inside/near POV coffee, but switched it up and moved over outside closer to the hotel/bar area. Despite the summer heat, there are fans and lots of shade, so we will continue to meet here for the foreseeable future. Any and all knit and crocheters are welcome, new and old friends, any skill level. We simply meet to enjoy each other's company.
2nd and 4th Saturday mornings at Tanglewook Park (Pavilion). 9am-11am-ish
Every 2nd and 4th Saturday morning we meet for social knitting at Tanglewook Park in Bryan. Tanglewood is off of Carter Creek Parkway and has a massive pavilion with picnic tables, but you can bring your own chairs if you like. This is the same as our Lakewalk meetups - social knit/crochet, any skill level, always welcome to new friends. We will continue to do this for the foreseeable future, but check here or our Facebook group for updates.
3rd Sunday Official Guild Meetings at Ringer Library, 2-4pm. First Meeting - August 15th.
With the world reopening I am excited to announce that we will start our 'official' guild meetings back up on the 3rd Sunday of the month at the meeting room in Ringer Library. The meeting space at Ringer is very open and allows for ample social distancing for those who may want it.
These meetings are more formal than our social knits, in that we usually discuss business/upcoming classes and events and then host a technique class over something knit or crochet. The first one, August 15th, will not feature a class, but more of a discussion of what the Guild will be going forward and a chance for everyone to catch up with each other. Going forward we will plan for meetings to be structured with the first portion being 'business' and then those who wish to do the class will move to the other side of the room for their class while others may have social knit/crochet time. Those who wish to participate in classes should pay their ONE TIME $20 dues, but dues are not required if you wish to just sit in on business and social knit time. Please check back here/ Facebook for more updates on class schedule and Covid changes as they become available.
