Next meeting Tuesday, October 30th

Hope to see you tonight, Oct. 30th from 6:30-8:00pm at the Castlegar Public Library.

Sandra and I have a proposal for the "other" monthly meeting - Arby's has offered to reserve a section for us. The last meeting at Inga's house went very well, also! See the previous post contributed by Sandra. Some interested people have inquired about meeting on a different night, not Tuesday, so the "other" monthly meeting could be on Wednesdays or ?? Up to the members.

Notes from the last meeting...

On a dark and rainy Tuesday evening in early October, 5 women with a keen interest in knitting meet at the home of Inga Lamont. By the warmth of a birch wood fire, the ladies knit, talked, and shared their interest in knitting and traditional crafts. Barbara was quilting on her brightly coloured “drunker’s path quilt she is making for her brother-in-law. Inga was knitting socks for her granddaughter’s birthday. Jean was continuing to knit for her “Threads of Love” project: knitting booties and caps for premature babies. Sandra had socks on the go. All four ladies were treated to a very impressive show and tell by Donna which included: her very first knitting project of a mohair shawl, men’s slippers which will be felted, ladies felted slippers, a felted black hat, and more. We were inspired to knit and felt slippers and enjoyed Donna’s humorous telling of the story behind each project.


Thank you Sandra for contributing this post!
