About Our Meetings

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.

This Month's Meeting
Next Meeting: November 21, 7pm-9pm
Speaker: Rakul Ketels
Program Topic: Faroe Isle Knitting
   Also:
Speaker: Kristi Gustafson
Program Topic: Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival

Rakul Ketels was born and raised in the Faroe Islands town of Klaksvik. We are so honored to have her provide us this opportunity to see some of the traditional knits which have come through her family and to learn a about traditional Faroe Isle knitting of the past as well as of today. She will show us many of the traditional motifs which are distinct Faroese patterns and will tell us about the Faroese sheep which produce the surprising range of naturally colored, organic fibers used in traditional Faroe knitting. Rakul has lived in this country for many years now and frequently speaks to local groups about the life on the Faroe Islands. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn about Faroe knitting.

Kristi is the fiber co-chair for Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. She will speak briefly about OFFF and its history including the fiber competition, which includes knitting and crocheting.
