Our April meeting program will be knitting with roving led by Ginger from In Sheeps Clothing.  Because of concern over attendance, the co-chairs requested a show of hands for those interested in participating.  Most of the 19 members attending voted to go ahead with this program.

The group showed interest in a Saturday class at Bayberry for a top-down sweater on 4/21 as well as a possible May program on dying and/or buttons with Ellen Coope

Hello, fellow knitters.

This has been a great winter, virtually no snow, no meeting cancellations. Lets hope this continues. I am writing this article with reservations but it is necessary.

I have cancelled all the guests for the following meetings. March, Saybrook Yarns and April, In Sheeps Clothing. These shop owners are coming from some distances and we have had diminishing attendance January and February. It is not fair to ask these people to come and do programs when there are less than 10 or so members. The March meeting will discuss our plans to reach out to new members to increase our attendance. Please bring your ideas.

I will also provide copies of patterns for the knitted flowers we were supposed to do in March. You can bring mohair, ribbon, cotton or wool yarns with size 2-3 needles to make these flowers. They are easy and can be used on a wall hanging, wreath, jacket, coat or purse. We will discuss what we will do for April.

The Auction will be in May and June is the cruise if anyone is still interested. Sylvia has some good ideas and will be re-do our flyers and try to get them out in the area. The Village at South Farms has been very good to us. They have no time restrictions, they have no complaints about our using other rooms, and they do not want any money. This is great because we have only twenty or so paid members. We cannot afford to pay for meeting rooms.

Please think about the direction we should go in. Any questions, or comments call me or Kim.

See you March 21. Happy Knitting.

Ladies if anyone would like to share with Guild why they are no attending the meeting you can mail them to me and I will bring them to the attention of the Guild.

If it truly is the location of where the Guild is now then perhaps some members would like to look into a new one so that our Guild can stay alive.

Thank you
Karen
