Guild General Meeting

Romi Hill Is Guest speaker
New Lace Knitting:  Designs for Wide Open Spaces

Knitwear designer Rosemary (Romi) Hill is our Guest Speaker in April. She’ll talk about the incredible versatility of lace in a presentation called, New Lace Knitting: Designs for Wide Open Spaces. Her topics include how stitch patterns change in different weights of yarn, how little details make a lace project truly elegant, and whether lace is for every day or special occasion.

A lifelong crafter and knitter, Romi is inspired by natural surroundings. Her designs have an organic flow. Romi’s work has appeared in publications such as Vogue Knitting, Interweave Knits, Knitscene and Twist Collective, and in numerous books. Romi’s book New Lace Knitting features timeless patterns for garments and accessories. Her creations are beautiful, artful, and sophisticated.  Learn more about Romi on her Ravelry page.

The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. and Romi’s presentation opens the program
