I just didn't have a chance to take pictures of all the projects. Bernadette had knitted the cutest little lamb which had then been felted. Katherine was working on a scarf made out of ribbon yarn in a beautiful blue.

I really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I hope you did as well. The night passed all too quickly. Hope to see everyone next month. Thank you all for a successful first year.

I'll be sending out an e-mail shortly about the trip to the yarn mill. It looks like we may have a weekday trip and a weekend trip.
Lena, Christina, making a ball from some of her hand-spun wool, and Donna, who is starting an entrelac scarf.
Barbara, another new member, working on knitting a square, Denise, working on her quilt top, Janis, also working on a square and Marie also working on a knitting project.
Denise is working on her quilting.
Lena, who joined us last month, shows off a vest she has knitted for her son.
Here are some of the squares that have been knitted so far to be used for blankets for the Linus project.
Donna, another new member (and also a Groovy Knitter) has completed this entrelac knitted bag. The colors are beautiful.
Tammy, another new member, shows off her almost completed bedspread. She hopes to finish it before the weather warms up. It's keeping her plenty warm as she works on it.
Connie modeled her newest scarf for us. She always adds a special unique touch to her work. On this scarf she added a band to tuck the other half of the scarf through to hold it in place.
Carole, one of our new members, introduced us to this lovely little project. Using a 3" styrofoam ball, fabric and straight pins, she is making a quilted ball. These are beautiful! They only take about an hour and a half to make.
Our March meeting marked our one year anniversary for the guild. We had a great meeting. Lots of new projects started!!

Lois finished a baby's sweater.
Bernadette finished a baby's sweater and hat.
Lena, a fellow knitter from the Sunday night group, the Groovy Knitters, joined us for the first time.
Despite icy weather, a few hardy souls made it out to our January meeting. Christina is working on carding raw wool that she had purchased.

After our last meeting in January, I went in search of winter since there has been such a lack of it here in NJ. I found it in the form of -30 below. I also found a great yarn store and a great web site for an on line class for needle felting. I hope to see you all on February 12th.
