It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner, and here’s me still thinking it is September. Now that I’m on the right page in my calendar, I would like to invite all you to my house for our annual Christmas pot luck lunch on Wednesday. December 7. Details are provided later in this newsletter. I’d like to say a special thank you to the Beehive for the wonderful tour of the

Here we are already in June and the last newsletter for this knitting year. Barb has done a great job! I hope you have expressed your appreciation and gratitude to her. It takes a lot of time and effort and the ability to be able to do it. Other than e-mails it is the only link a number of our members have with the Guild when circumstances make getting to the meetings impossible. It is with

Some fun things have been happening and we are looking forward to events that are best for the nice spring and summer-like days. There have been some great workshops. The most recent was on March 17th when 12 of us gathered to learn how to put little

The executive is very encouraged by several new members, the increasing number attending the meetings and the response to the request for suggestions.The suggestions have been compiled for everyone's feedback so we know what the group wants to happen in our

Image via WikipediaIt is hard to believe we are already in the fourth month of the 2009-2010 VKG year. The next event of the year is the knitting retreat at Yellow Point Lodge which will be history by the time the newsletter is printed. The plan is that 19 members will have attended and hopefully will have had as great a time as was had last year. The only available spots were for 11 last year

Welcome to a new VKG year. I wish to thank the nominating committee who worked hard to put together the executive for the year. I know from past experience that it is not an easy task. I am grateful for those who agreed to work with me on the executive. We will strive to make it a great year. We are already over a month into the new VKG year. The year is off to an encouraging beginning

Happy New Year knitters and I’m sure you’ve all managed (between eating turkey and chocolates) to get lots of knitting done these last few weeks being housebound with the mounds of snow we have had – and (horrors) even more to come!!!I guess some of you may enjoy it and even be out frolicking in it but I would prefer if it stayed on the mountains. My excuse for not doing any of my keep fit

Just trying out the blog page of our Victoria Knitters Guild. Have just returned from a trip to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City where I visited quite a few yarn shops and was very fortunate to find a yarn that I could not find in Victoria. Didn't want to waste any time so also bought the needles I needed and started it pretty much straight away. It's called the Yeti hoody and the yarn
