A Sampling of Our Work:
The purpose of the Fox Valley Knitters' Guild is to promote and foster an interest in knitting, to provide the opportunity for study and sharing to broaden one's skills, and to encourage high standards of design and technique in various forms of knitting.
May 2012 Guild Meeting: Spring-Cleaning Stash Sale and End-of-the-Guild-Year Party
It is spring-cleaning time! So start going through your yarn stash and your knitting‐related books, magazines and equipment to see if there is anything that you are ready to part with. This is a great opportunity to sell or to give away those things that are taking up space and that you know you will never use. Remember, one knitter’s trash is definitely another knitter’s treasure.
We’ll have several sale tables set up, so there will be plenty of room for everyone’s treasures. Please remember to put your yarn into zip‐lock bags with the price for each bag.
Schedule
The guild meets on the second Wednesday of the month from September through May at the The St. Charles Episcopal Church 994 N. 5th Avenue, St. Charles. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. for socializing & refreshments and the meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. The meetings consist of guild business, a planned program, and an opportunity to gain inspiration and expertise through "Show and Share". Some of the program topics the guild has covered in the past are Nordic knitting, needle felting, Entrelac, hand spinning, edgings, double knit, casting on and off, charting motifs, Latvian mittens and more.
