Date: June 14, 2007
Time: 7 PM

Note from the President
Greetings,
I can't believe that Memorial Day is past and so are most graduation parties. It is also WARM weather. A good time to work on smaller projects. With that in mind, the program for June will be two new ideas on what you can do with socks. We will also be needing volunteers for a nominating committee as this is an election year.
I hope to see you all there!

Cindy Weinberger
President

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.
