January Show and Tell

Our January meeting gave us a chance to become familiar with more techniques as well as learn more about the resources in our library. And, as always, there was good show and tell.

A happy knitter who had several items to show. Love the swing in the shawl.

The debut of a brand new shawl design.

Tardis socks -- perfect gift for a Dr. Who fan.

December meeting wrap-up

Our December meeting is a festive affair. As usual, we had the presentation of the bears to the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy. This year we had an impressive total of over 300 bears. Thank you to everyone for their great work! We also had a young girl scout donate about 100 bears to be dressed for next year.

Guild members always bring plenty of good food to the potluck, and this year was no exception. During the short business meeting, we found out that the workshops in the coming year are already filled up! Way to go!

And, of course, there's always show and tell. This month there were two members with blankets. That's a lot of work!

Happy holiday season and holiday knitting!

Now the Dog Can Laugh

I'm sure we've all seen pictures of dog sweaters. Some are very stylish. Some make you understand why temperaments change. But I don't think many of us have seen penguin sweaters. Apparently, oil-slicked penguins get cold, and sweaters can protect them until they can have a proper de-greasing bath.

Yet another cute video, this one shot through a microscope lens.

Yarn budget in film school?

Here's a link to The Little Red Plane, a short stop-action film. Be sure to pay attention to the knitting, both in the figures and in the backgrounds.
