Happy New Year, Knitters.
I hope everyone is well and had a nice Christmas and I hope you all enjoyed the presentation with Lucy last month on double knitting. I was amazed and so happy we were able to provide such great talent to our Guild members.
If you have not already done so, please mail your dues checks (made out to FRKG or Front Range Knitting Guild) to:
Patricia Schroetlin
2590 Mehaffey Drive
Loveland, CO 80538
Her phone is 970-669-6626. If any one prefers to pay in cash in person, please call first and she can meet you at the door. The dues remain $25 for the year and continue to be a great value.
This Saturday, January 2, our very own Robyn will be presenting Navajo Knitting. Below are the instructions for you to refer to during the presentation. Please complete the two set up rows so we can all be ready to go when the presentation starts.

Contact secretary.frkg at gmail.com for a link to the Zoom meeting.
The February meeting will be February 13 with Knit Graffiti Designer Lesley Anne Robinson. The presentation starts at 10:00 so we will have time beforehand to conduct any business, show what we are currently working on and say “hi”. The remaining guild meetings for 2021 will be held on the FIRST SATURDAY of the month starting in MARCH. If anyone has topics or suggestions for future meetings, please contact any board member and we will try to make your ideas a reality.
Hope to see you all on Saturday!!! Let’s start the New Year out right.
