Kickoff Meeting
Membership signups,
"Our Personal Knitting Histories"
For our first meeting after the summer break we thought
it would be fun to take some time and get to know each other better -
from the knitting point of view, of course! So bring in a few items
you've created over the years that show your personal knitting
history, and tell us a little about who you are as a knitter. How did
you get started, what inspired you? What was the first thing you made
and how old were you? What inspires you now, and how have your
knitting styles changed?
And don't forget your dues! |
