The President’s Yarn - November 2011

It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner, and here’s me still thinking it is September. Now that I’m on the right page in my calendar, I would like to invite all you to my house for our annual Christmas pot luck lunch on Wednesday. December 7. Details are provided later in this newsletter.
I’d like to say a special thank you to the Beehive for the wonderful tour of the new yarns you gave us in September and for continuing to share your knowledge and love of the craft. To our very own Catherine Mick, thank you for sharing your stories, your creative process and your love of everything fiber with the group on the 19th.
Don’t miss the session with Mary Tanti on November 23rd when she will follow-up on the conversation about alternative cast-on and cast-off techniques that was started at the Beehive. Details are contained elsewhere in the newsletter.
Remember that with our membership drive this fall, there are two draws for gift certificates to the Victoria yarn shop of your choice. To be eligible for the first draw you have had to renew your membership before October 31. That draw will be held November 2. The second draw is for members who bring in a new member before January 1, 2012.
I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful fall we are having and your newest knitting projects.
Your president,
Eileen Grant
