Thanks to Elisa Reutinger, Bead Study member, for planning the April field trip to the Bay Area. The weather was beautiful and we couldn’t have picked a better day to travel by car. Six people in two cars ventured to visit two stores with outstanding goods to buy.
Fifteen members of the Bead Study group met at our new site for classes, Sierra 2 Center in Curtis Park. Everyone agreed that the room is spacious and full of natural light to work on the beading projects that we create each month.
For the February Needle Arts Study Group, we will continue our exploration of modular knitting with mitered square modules. The inspiration for our study of modular knitting is Ginger Luter's book, Module Magic. Bring 2-3 colors of a DK or worsted-weight yarn of any kind, appropriate-sized knitting needles (either dpns, straight, or circular), appropriate-sized crochet hook, scissors, and a yarn needle. Also bring any other needle arts project you are currently working on - we mix our topic (currently modular knitting) with sharing of our other current inspirations.
