You all know we can't wait to get together, so we drummed up some not so shabby events to use as good excuses. Right now, there is just the two. But I think we may have a third on the way.
Maggie's coming back! (stifling little girl scream) Lol, not really screaming...well, maybe inside. Maggie Sefton, the author of The Knitting Mystery series is coming back to Barnes for a book signing on June 4th. Apparently, Maggie specifically asked to do her signing at "our" Barnes and who are we to pass up such an open invitation to go and plague her with our knitting and conversation? So, we will be meetin that week for knitting on Wednesday instead of Monday and at 7:00 or earlier if so desired. More on this develpment as it gets nearer. Check out Maggie's site here.
Also, for those of you that don't know yet, we are going to participate in the Knit-A-Thon for the Denver Children's Hospital. For some reason, I completely spaced bringing my notebook over and so I've no idea what the dates are for that, but I will get them to you all very soon. In the meantime...
We had discussed the idea of having a scarf swap for Christmas. Where each person knits up a holiday scarf and we swap them in a kind of drawing at the beginning of December. That way each person has a scarf to wear over the holiday's that was made by a buddy from their favorite Monday night knitting group. Lol. Feel free to comment on this or just bring your ideas to the group next Monday. Something to think about.
Also, I'm working on getting our Member Profile section completed so we can get it setup and and incorporate it into some of our group projects. I'm also going to get some business cards made with all the information our new groupies need to get started as part of the crew. Jan has more or less kept the fire burning on that one ('cus we all know I can't keep it in my head for that long) and has offered some ideas. More on that when we get a bit closer.
And that's all I had for today, guys. It was fan-freakin'-tastic seeing all of you tonight and I can't wait for next week.

What a great meeting last Monday. Strange didn't mention the milestone event - 3 tables!! Two won't do for us any more. We picked up a new member that I met at the Yarn Harlot signing - Dana. Welcome Dana. I am excited about all three upcoming events - even the one I can't go to. I will be there for Maggie, can't make the Knit - a -thon and I am already planning my Holiday Scarf. See everyone Monday night.
