Hello fellow knitters,
Spring has finally sprung and Easter in upon us. I hope you all are enjoying getting outside and enjoying the sunshine and knitting wonderful things for warmer weather.
To everyone that joined us for the March program, thank you. I hope you learned something new and I think our member Marian did an excellent job. I have taken her pattern and started a reverse cabled scarf of my own and find I really am enjoying the process. Easy to memorize and do in the car (while I am a passenger). Thank you again Marian for sharing your talents with the members over the years. You are a wealth of knowledge that we are lucky to have in our midst.
Our upcoming programs include:

June 10-13. The Estes Park Wool Market is cancelled for this year but please go to Estesparkeventscomplex.com for a complete list of vendors that would greatly appreciate your support.
July 3rd. No Guild meeting. Hope you are enjoying the holiday with family and friends.
If you were unable to join us at the last guild meeting, you missed a fabulous knitting basket scavenger hunt with prizes and surprises. Well, the April meeting will be no different. Get ready for KNITTING BINGO. This is going to be FUN and of course I will provide more fabulous prizes for the winners! Thank you Eleanor!!
Looking forward to seeing you all.
