Meeting Location:
We meet at 7pm, on the third (3rd) Thursday of each month at:
Senior Center

Tigard, OR 97223
Meetings are approximately two hours in length. The first hour is the monthly program which may be a featured speaker, discussion, or hands-on technique (see below). The second hour is for "sharing" our current and finished projects. Guests and members alike are welcome to bring any open questions, and in-progress or finished knitted items to share.
You are welcome to attend as a guest for two meetings prior to joining our Guild.

meeting: July 17, 2008 7pm-9pm Location: Program Topic: Amanda Woodruff and Donna Arney - Tour of Ravelry It’s an inside job this time—Donna Arney and Amanda Woodruff will share a presentation about Ravelry, the online knitting/crochet community. Not only can you keep track of all your yarn projects with Ravelry, but you can also find knitters with similar interests and even folks who are working on the same projects! It’s a great way to organize your stash and keep up with what’s new in the knitting world. |
