January Meeting Results
Last nights meeting of the guild was fantastic! We had a great turnout of members and really enjoyed the presentation by Susan of The Yarn Shop at Rainy Day Creations. One highlight of the night was seeing the two knit blankets we were able to donate to Thompsons.
The white blanket was knit by Jane Prater, the other was pieced together from all the squares made by members. Do you see yours?
If you don't see your square, never fear. The extra squares will find their way into a Warm Up America blanket. Rachel has taken the extras for that purpose.
For those of you intrigued by the zip-up baby sweater from show and tell, here is a link to the pattern.

Time to Do You Part!
The guild needs your squares! At the December meeting, we were able to gather enough squares to make nearly 2 blankets. Notice I did not say "two whole blankets". I know there's more of you out there with squares made. Please drop your squares off at Charlotte Yarn or send an e-mail to cltknittingguild AT gmail DOT com to arrange for another way to get your squares turned in.
