Knit Happens
Naugatuck Knitting and Crochet Guild
October 7th and October 19th, 2006



The following was discussed:

Everyone welcomed Kathy Harris as the new Vice President. Thank you Kathy!
Everyone also welcomed Sue Gerchy as the new Membership Coordinator. Thank you Sue!
Our CGOA membership application is being processed. If you volunteered to be on the membership application, Tammy will be contacting you shortly.
We need to finish voting for our logo. While we were there, Kim presented another new idea that included a crochet hook so she will play around with it a little bit more. The sheep seems to be winning so she will try to incorporate that as well.
We currently have 39 paid members in our guild. All paid members receive a membership card. If you haven’t received one, please see Kristin at the next meeting.
A vote for the location of our Christmas party was held and it looks like Tammy’s neighborhood club house has won. It will be December 10th at 1:00 p.m. and be a “pot luck”. Secret Pal sign up sheet is located in the Knit Happens corner at Lula’s. More information will follow along with directions to the club house.
A “Knit Crawl” is being planned for February 2007.
Lucille shared a demonstration of a beautiful lap blanket using the chunky wool that many are using for their bulky vests. She used a yarn over stitch for the first few rows and then straight knit for the middle and ending with the yarn over stitch for the bottom. She used the size 50 needles and said it was very quick and easy to do!
Tammy talked about a web site she found that sells bottoms for felted bags so they won’t “sag”. The site is http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/ and they sell wonderful acrylic bottoms for your felted bag.

The next scheduled meetings for are November 4th at 3:00p.m. and 16th at 6:30 p.m.
