The focus of this special edition newsletter is Charity Knitting. You can find the newsletter in the newsletter section of the web site. It also includes ALL previous newsletters. It’s a nice resource and you should go there now and take a look (It is password protected though so if you don’t know the password, call someone to get it)

To inspire you to do some charity knitting, I have pulled some patterns and information from previous editions of the newsletter, and I’ve gotten some additional patterns from the web. All you need to do is dig into your stash and start knitting. Summertime is a great time for knitting these small, portable items. And we know they will be deeply appreciated by the recipients. There’s nothing that says LOVE like a hand knit item.

The next regular edition of the newsletter is planned for release on Sept 2, which is two weeks before the first meeting of the 2009-2010 season. That edition will have the June minutes and pictures. Have a great summer and keep knitting!

The next meeting of the Nutmeg Knitters Guild will be held on Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Note earlier start time – 6:30 PM * (read below) in the lower level of the Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill Street, Berlin, CT.

*Our final meeting before the summer break will start 1/2 hour earlier so we can have a little pizza party prior to the meeting. I want to make sure we have enough time for the eats, meeting, show and tell and the special treat of having Charlene Schurch as our speaker. Her topic will be lace knitting. It should be a jam packed meeting!

It is hard to believe that a whole season has passed as being president of Nutmeg Knitters. It is that time of year for people to come forward if they would like to get more involved in the club. We have so many new members that must be brimming with ideas or topics they would like presented. Please let us know your thoughts and ideas. It is your club!

I thank the entire board for their time and effort this past season. It has made my position as president very easy. I would like to give a special thanks to Elaine Salinger and Gina Kahn for the great programs they planned for the year.

We had a very special year. I am touched by the presentations from long standing members who still care for this club. These women are all teachers in the field and took the time and effort to present very stimulating programs. Thanks Jeanne Drury, Judy Pascale and Charlene Schurch.

Enjoy the slower pace of summer and see you in September.

Keep those needles clicking,
Ginny
