Next Quad-City Knitter’s Guild Meeting
Date: April 12, 2007
Time: 7 PM
Place: BETTENDORF LIBRARY

Note from the President - I think that the warm weather is getting me in the mood for spring. The grass is greening up and I have a hyacinth in bloom. I want to thank Judy Wagner for her program on two socks at once and sock heels. I was quite pleased with how they came together.

This month’s program will be knitting socks from the toe up. The cast-on Judy Masat will show us looked very smooth and comfortable. You should bring two circular needles (in different colors, if possible) and yarn to match.

The Sit “n Knit will be at my house on April 19 – drop us an email if you need further details.

I look forward to seeing you all!

Cindy Weinberger
President


April Program: Judy Masat will teach the Turkish cast on, which she used in making a pair of socks from the toe up. The cast on makes a very nice toe. She used the Vogue Knitting magazine from the Fall of 2005 to learn this technique.

For the program, members are to bring two circular needles of approximately the same size and worsted weight yarn.
