PRESIDENT’S CORNER:The September meeting had around 28 members attend, with NINE new people. Since I wasn’t there, I’m counting on our scribe Emily to tell us about the lace program with Gloria Reich. I’ve heard from several people about what a great program it was!
SWAP MEET
This month is our swap meet. I originally thought we would open it up to other things as well but I think we’ll just keep it fiber related. If we want to do a general swap, we will probably do it in November.
So bring magazines, books, yarns, projects, or whatever you have knit related. We’ll set up a table in the back of the room and browse it after the program.Swap rules are as follows: Bring your swap items and put them on the table. After the main program, you can wander back and look at the items you want to swap. Please use your best judgment and take the same amount as you bring. We will be working under the honor system. If there are items left over, we will have a swap box to put them in and either they will go into a permanent Guild collection or we will hold them for the next swap meet in March.
PROGRAMS
This month Anna Hester is going to share working on Charity Knitting. Homework for this program consists of bringing something to knit on for our charity work. We will ALL be working on charity knitting projects as this meeting. If nothing else bring yarn and needles, patterns will be provided if necessary.
FUTURE PROGRAMS
Come prepared with at least one idea for a program next year. Just because you volunteer an idea doesn’t mean you’ll have to present it. But if you have something you can share with the group that would be great too!
Where and When We Meet We meet the 3rd Sunday of every month at the Belle Isle Library from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm in a downstairs conference room. We are allowed to bring food and drinks as long as we don’t take them upstairs into the book area. Upcoming Programs

New Online Editor!
Hi! My name is Brenda and I am your new online editor. This is a new and exciting experience for me as I love to do tekky stuff as well as knit. I am a self-taught knitter and have been a ‘novice’ knitter for about 25 years now. I mostly do very simple things, but am excited to be a part of the guild. I am hoping that some more challenging projects ‘rub off’ on me. Thanks for this opportunity to serve you as your online news editor. I am looking forward to a lot of fun “Sundays”!
