January and 2018

Sorry for such a late update - it's been hard to get in touch with our venue - but we have the meeting for January planned!

First meeting of the year is at Habitat for Humanity in Bryan on Lake Street. 

We will have a program by Debbie that is about deconstructing sweaters, specifically from the thrift stores. If you want to try and find one before then, look for something that isn't super fuzzy or thin yarn. Probably not a lot of colors and patterns. Wool work best. 

We will also discuss finding a new location (again - Lisa has ideas) and activities for the year. 

Bring your knitting and join us. The only way the things you wanna see will happen is if you come and tell us :)

We are looking for a new location to be our permanent spot for awhile, so that we don't always have to rely on asking Habitat each month.  There are a couple of ideas thrown around that will be discussed at this meeting.

We want to plan a fiber/dying day trip for the year. Likely at Independence Farmstead Fibers, but we haven't set a date.  Plan on news for that soon!

And we are working towards make our group more official again.  Afterall, we are more than just a group who likes to knit. Talks of a 2018 charity challenge are underway.

Don't forget social meetups every Tuesday at Gogh Gogh Coffee in College Station (off Barron Rd).  Starts at 5.  Usually goes til 6:30-7. Bring your fibery projects and have some fun!

June Meeting and More

For our June meeting we will be at the Habitat For Humanity Classroom/house - 119 Lake St, Bryan at 7pm.

This month we are kicking off the summer months with a pretty laid back meeting. We will be talking business/money as well as a door prize game. 

As our "program" we will be doing a show and tell of sorts, where each member is asked to share their favorite "knitting hack". This could be anything from "my go to cast-on is..." to something more detailed/unique. Feel free to bring examples/print out instructions if you wish (not required).

We will also be releasing the final clue before the lace of our KAL at this meeting. Making it bigger/editing the pattern will also be discussed here.

July will be "Christmas in July" where members are encouraged (but not required) to knit up a Woodlands Violets Cowl that will be then gifted via white elephant gift exchange.  We will also have a finger foods potluck.  The event is tentatively at our President Laura's house.  Final info TBA at meeting.

We elected officers last meeting.  Our new board is:
Laura Nickelson - President
Lisa Urban - Vice President
Rhonda Lance - Secretary
Susan Gater - Treasurer

Happy Spring and Hello Summer!
