Sue Booth
Sadly, for us, this was Sue's last visit, but she put on a good demonstration, as ever.
She gave us a basic pattern for a set in sleeve jumper, and showed us how to knit the armhole and shoulders neatly and efficiently.
Then she went on to demonstrate how to incorporate a decorative panel into the front, and, finally, gave us some interesting edges, based loosely on the 'worm' edging, but with a more intricate look.
We said goodbye with a small presentation, and hope to see her at other venues, such as the Nottingham All Knitting Show in the spring.

Open Meeting
This meeting had no theme, but was intended as a discussion/ impromptu demonstration get-together.
We had a brief show and tell, with me [Lynda] showing my hand knitted patchwork waistcoat, the pattern of which is in the newsletter here.
Jacqui showed a circular yoke jumper she had made at a Clair Crowston workshop, which had a fair isle yoke knitted with a sparkly contrast yarn, very effectively.
Then we had two demos, one for Mary, who had problems with her Knitmaster, and another with the garter bar.
Although the meeting was small again, everyone had an enjoyable and informative time.

Multi craft meeting
Members showed off the skills and interests they have in addition to machine knitting.
A relaxed afternoon, chatting about all kinds of crafts, with some casual demonstration.
Unfortunately, the meeting was not well attended, but those that came enjoyed it!

Tassels with Erica Thomson
Another fascinating demonstration and talk by Erica, in which she showed us tassels made on the knitting machine.
She described how she worked out a method for speeding up tassel making, normally a slow process, by using the knitting machine for most parts, as well as using an electric drill to twist the cords.
Erica always stimulates our creativity with her innovative style, and today was no exception.
