Note from the President:
Despite the deep freeze that we seem to have been in recently, I think that it's been a pretty good month. We had a lovely party at the January meeting and Judy showed us how to avoid that annoying little "jog" when knitting stripes or patterns in the round.

Unfortunately, one of the coldest days occurred on the 15th when Sit 'n Knit was scheduled. At least it was a good day to stay home and keep warm with a knitting project. I have started on a new little sweater and hope to have 2 of them done by March.

Ann Marie sent me the information for the Alice Starmore book and the Portuguese Knitting book. The Alice Starmore book (click words for link).

Also: Portuguese Knitting by Andrea Wong, and for a free pattern, go to here.


If there is any interest, she has volunteered to share the DVD at a meeting or do a demonstration.

I apologize for the trouble some people had finding the current issue of Piecework magazine. Apparently subscribers actually get it before it hits the stands. It should be available now. It is the January/February 2009 - 3rd Annual Historical Knitting Issue.

C. Weinberger
President

Program: Double Knitting. I think we have done this before but we have some new people since then. I will show you 2 ways to double knit and how to cast on for that too. Bring two different colors of yarn, I don’t care what weight of yarn. Cast on 50 stitches with one color .

Note from the President:
Greetings,

When you receive this 2008 will be history. I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I know that I did. As usual, our annual dinner at Mo Brady's was quite good.

Happy Knitting!
C. Weinberger, President


Program:
When knitting in the round, do you get a job in your stripes? I will demonstrate how to avoid that jog. Nothing to bring, I will have a hat started using stripes and let everyone have a chance to see how you get rid of that annoying job. Also on the program is problem solving night. If you have a problem, bring it this month and we can see if we all can help you.
