The First South Mountain Knitters Meeting

The First Meeting of the South Mountain Knitters, an affiliated chapter of The Knitting Guild Association met last evening (9/21/10).
I have a good feeling about our guild chapter.
Our next meetings have been scheduled to meet in the meeting room at the Roy Roger’s off of Ballenger Creek. The address is:
  • 301 Ballenger Center Drive, Frederick, MD
  • Meeting Dates/Times: October 19, 6-8PM
  • November 16, 6-8 PM
  • December 21, 6-8 PM
I’m happy that our group is interested in learning new techniques and knitting ideas. To kick that off, at the October meeting I plan to give a couple of brief knitting related book reviews and present an idea of how we might share our personal libraries with one another.
We plan to have mini lessons at our future meetings on techniques and knitting related topics. Also, we would like to have the opportunity to do mini one-on-one classes with new knitters to get them going with a simple project.
Please join us if you can. Contact me with questions.
