The meeting of the Bluebonnet Guild on Thursday night was a huge success!
The Bluebonnet's afghan is completely finished and looks absolutely GREAT! Karen Scarberry showed it and there were many oohs and ahhs. We have some spectacular knitters in the guild, as the pictures of the squares in the preceeding blog points out. Each and every person who completed a square of the afghan should give themselves a pat on the back. The creme-de-la-creme was the braided edge completed by Mary Anderson. This is truly a work of art. There was a discussion in regards to the raffle and where the proceeds should go. As we firm up the details, information will be posted.
There was a good group in attendance, and the group that was there was very interactive. I came away with more really good tips than I have in a long time. Karen Scarberry showed us how to put in a zipper in a sweater to make it look like it came off the Paris runway! Toni Tharpe had just completed a great sweater with a zipper and she also gave us some great tips.
The tips that came from the gang were a Simple La-La Shawl from Ravelry. Patti was knitting it and it would make a wonderful Christmas gift for that special person. Mary Anderson was knitting washcloths with cotton and tulle. What a great idea for a scrub cloth for that person on your list that is difficult to buy for. Websites were shared from Ravelry, GarnStudios, AnniesWoolens, and on and on!
The evening was just very special in many ways, but the sharing is the best part of this guild.
We missed the other members who weren't there, but we look forward to seeing you in December. Please mark your calendars to attend the Christmas party at MiMi's Cafe in Grapevine. Details will follow.
I hope I didn't get anyone's name incorrect.
Goodnight and happy knitting!
