Next Quad-City Knitter’s Guild Meeting
Date: May 10, 2007
Time: 7 PM
Place: BETTENDORF LIBRARY

Note from the President
I don’t know about you, but I think that I will find many uses for the cast-on that Judy taught us. I think that my first project will be a small one – I need a pouch for a keychain mini-tool set. Thank you so much, Judy!

Happy Knitting!

Cindy Weinberger
President


May Program:
The program this month will be a couple of new stitches that would be great on socks, a sweater, or even an afghan. You will want to knit up a couple of inches in the yarn of your choice with the size needles you like before the meeting. Make it a multiple of 8 stitches with maybe a couple of extra for an edge border.
