October Meeting

The October meeting was great fun. Joanne brought a new member, Debra, with one section of a five-section shawl. Joyce brought a red hat. Patti worked on a fingerless mitt. Nita is working on an afghan. Joan wore a left-over glitz scarf for her neighborhood craft sale.

Thanks to Joan for the photography.

Next meeting: Tuesday, November 10.

Cruising Knitters

It was only two days aboard the MS Zaandam, but the experience was outstanding in every respect. Even the weather was better than predicted. We departed Seattle on Friday at 5 pm and had some quality knitting time on the Lido deck.

Our entire group received upgrades to the Verandah deck, the above cabin shot is from our verandah.

The ship was beautiful with works of art on every deck, the food excellant, service top-notch.

The best part is that our travel agent, Sandy, is already planning next year's cruise. It will be a four day round trip from Seattle. So start your long-term planning knitters, the next one will be even better.

Stash Enhancement

Note the new list of local yarn shops. If your favorite is not listed, add it as a comment and we'll add it to the list.

Knitting and Dyeing with Steph and Tina

Here's a nearby opportunity to knit and dye with experts Steph and Tina, the team that brought you Sock Summit. Sounds like a great weekend.

Saving an EZ Sweater

Read the story of how a "lost" Elizabeth Zimmermann sweater was found and recreated here.

Then see photos that Jared (a.ka. Booklyn Tweed) took here.

If you are not familiar with Elizabeth Zimmermann, you can learn more here and here.

Come to the Fair!

When you visit the Western Washington Fair this year, you'll see some fabulous knitting in the Home Arts section. Beautiful shawls, darling baby clothes, elegant sweaters, toe-tickling socks, and head-warming hats — and award ribbons on work submitted by guild members Joan and Sue.

Among Joan's winners are a sweater and her leftover sock yarn blanket.

Sue won ribbons for doilies and a beaded scarf.
