April Activities – What’s on Your Needles?

April’s Show and Share was billed as virtual, but several members brought or wore special items to the April meeting. Next month bring your Show and Share items to the May regular in-person Guild meeting and show them in person! Download a Show and Share form here. If you can’t make it to an in-person meeting or there isn’t an in-person meeting, submit your photos via email or text. As always, instructions for submitting your photos for posting are at the bottom of this page. A complete list and links to all Guild Photo Galleries can be found on the drop-down menu under the Guild Info tab.

PHOTO GALLERY FROM THE april GUILD MEETING

Mary Lovett completed her wrist warmers from the April 18 Explorations in Norwegian Cables class.

Sydnie Wauson wore her Casapinka The Sharon Show MKAL wrap, knitted during the pandemic. Lots of fun choosing colors from stash. White and orange are Cherry Tree Hill Supersock wool/silk blend; teal is Ella Rae merino; pink is Cascade Heritage Sock. I didn’t weave in ends and block it until last week, when I wanted something cheerful to wear to the Arne & Carlos meeting!

Sydnie Wauson Sharon wore her Sharon Show shawl, details in previous slide.

Dolores Rodriguez Shared her A&E Crochet-a-Long blanket with Arne & Carlos

How to Submit Your Photos: Photos can be submitted either via text message or email to Kerry Nare. (Kerry’s phone number and direct email address can be found in the Guild Directory.) For clarity, image file sizes should be greater than 500 kb. Keep in mind when you take your photos, that projects show up best against solid backgrounds. Include a description of your project, pattern and designer name, yarn used, how you came to knit your project, and any other information you wish viewers to know. When texting be sure to include your name!

* Did you know? Smart phones have much better cameras than iPads or tablets and are as good if not better than many digital cameras, so if you have a choice, take your photos with your phone. You can text or email photos directly from your phone, no need to download first.

While there is no set deadline for submissions, please submit your projects by the 4th Monday of the month to ensure it is posted before the next News Blast goes out. Photos are posted according to the month they are received.
