**************** New Business ***************************
Metro Family Magazine: We are CELEBRITIES!!! The OKC Metro Knitting Guild was spotlighted in the October issue of Metro Family Magazine. You can find copies of the magazine wherever free publications are hosted (such as WalMart).
Build-A-Bear: There was some discussion about getting together as a group one afternoon at either Penn Square or Quail Springs Mall to stuff a bear and then sit and knit. Not only would it create exposure for the Guild, but would also aid in collecting bears and bear sweaters for our Precious Pals charity program. If you are interested in participating, contact Kathy Knox or Terri Derrick.
******** Educational Program - Mosaic Knitting *********
A big THANKS to Jo Ellyn for sharing her multitude of knitting skills with us. Jo Ellyn introduced us to Mosaic Knitting at our October meeting. She showed us how easy it is to knit two colors together into various patterns. Thanks Jo Ellyn for doing a great job!
