SUMMARY:June - Work of Our Hands Show
DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to strut your stuff on a runway? Hoped to see something you’ve created be featured in the spotlight? Wished you could show off something that you are proud of making? Here is your chance! \nThe Guild’s June 20 meeting will be our annual Work of Our Hands Show\, which will provide multiple opportunities to display and showcase hand works created by our members (knitted crocheted\, hooked\, woven\, etc.) This will be different than the ‘traditional’ fashion show we have held in the past as there will be multiple components and ways to participate. \nFor those who like to strut your stuff\, there is a runway component. An MC will read the information you have provided on your pieces. And models will be available for those who would prefer not to strut their own stuff (if you’d like to be a model please let us know). \nAdditional to the runway\, we will have spots available for showcasing items that typically aren’t showcased in that medium – think your lovely knitted socks\, crocheted stuffed toys\, mitts\, cup cozies… Basically there will be a spot provided for anything hand created that you wish to show off! \nSo how do you sign up to showcase an item? We are taking submissions by email or at a meeting and ask you to provide us with some information in order for us to plan and prepare accordingly. Group submissions of particular patterns or items are definitely welcome (think L’Enveloppe\, Lanesplitter Skirt\, or Clapotis). \nThe deadline for submissions is May 16\, 2018. Submit your completed 2018 work of our hands submission form via email to info@torontoknittersguild.ca with “Work of our Hands Show Submission” in the subject line or drop off your completed form at the April Guild meeting. \nWe are very much looking forward to celebrating our members’ creations. Now it’s your turn to figure out what to create between now and then to showcase!  Time to get making… \nIf you are participating in the Frolic Make A Long\, this is the ideal time to flaunt your stuff! \n  \nVendor Details: \nRed Sock Blue Sock Yarn is a family run business based in Ontario\, Canada and was founded in 2013 by Ashley Ratnam as a way to further share her love of fibre with others. The name of her company is inspired by her daughter’s love of all things Dr. Seuss and the wonderful and crazy adventures to be had. \n\n\nRed Sock Blue Sock Yarn strives to provide high quality yarns in a fantastic array of tonal solids all the way to vibrant and highly variegated colors. Each skein is hand dyed with care on high quality fibres spun in Canada. \n\nWe will have the following items: sock kits\, gradient kits\, a mixture of our comfort sock\, singleton\, and cashmere sock yarns.\nPayment methods: we will be able to accept credit cards and cash only. No Interac.\nDiscount will be 10% off everything but we do have to charge tax.

SUMMARY:May - Kirk Dunn
DESCRIPTION:Kirk Dunn \nwww.kirkdunn.com \n  \nKirk is an actor\, writer and corporate consultant – but his greatest love is knitting. \n  \nKirk has been knitting since 1988 and began designing in 1996. He shares a love of colour and complex design with renowned textile designers Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably. In 1998\, Kirk apprenticed at the Kaffe Fassett Studio in London\, England. \n  \nKirk has designed several sweaters\, afghans and pieces of knitted art. His “Thousand Cranes” sweater design is award winning\, his “Symmetricats” pillow design was published in A Needle Pulling Thread\, and he recently designed a “Topsy Turvy” pillow for Topsy Farms yarn producers. \n  \nIn 2003\, Kirk was awarded a significant Ontario Arts Council Chalmers Foundation Fellowship for Stitched Glass\, an installation of three 5’ x 8’ tapestries\, knit in the style of stained glass\, exploring the commonalities and conflicts between Judaism\, Christianity and Islam. Fifteen years later\, Kirk is almost finished the final tapestry. With the support of the Toronto Arts Council\, Kirk and his wife\, Claire Ross Dunn\, are co-writing The Knitting Pilgrim\, a one-hour play to tour with the installation. The play will explore the development and themes of the piece: interfaith understanding and empathy in today’s polarized world\, as well as Kirk’s experience of working on one ambitious piece of art for 15 years. The international tour will launch in 2018/2019. \n  \nHe has been interviewed on CBC Radio’s “This Morning\,” and has been featured in A Needle Pulling Thread Magazine\, Enroute Magazine\, Family Circle Knitting\, Vogue Knitting\, The National Post\, Maclean’s Magazine\, The Presbyterian Record\, Vogue’s Knit 1 magazine and the online knitting magazine Knitnet. \n  \nKirk was the feature speaker at the June 2006 meeting of the Toronto Knitters Guild (formerly the Downtown Knit Collective). His talk was turned into the documentary film Threads of Abraham. A short version of this film is available on youtube. \n  \nKirk can be seen knitting on various TTC vehicles across Toronto. \n \n \n \n  \nVendor Details: \n \nWe are pleased to announce that Emily Foden of Viola Yarns will be returning to the Guild as our May vendor. \nViola hand dyed yarns has been based out of Mooresburg (Southwestern Ontario) for the past 3 years\, where Emily dyes subtle colours inspired by the landscape that surrounds her. Over the past year\, Emily has been obsessively working on a book in collaboration with Pom Pom Press\, due to be released in October. New colour ways\, knitting patterns and a peek behind the scenes into the world of Viola and winter in Mooresburg are all in store.

SUMMARY:April - Fiona Ellis
DESCRIPTION:Fiona Ellis\, Knitwear Designer and Knitting Trailblazer \nBathing Beauty \nBathing\, that invigorating act of stepping into pool or sea in the company of others\, has a history that drifts back to Roman times\, possibly even earlier. How\, where\, and with whom we swim or bathe—and how it’s viewed by society—changed considerably between ancient and modern times. But whatever the era\, these factors all contribute to how people choose to clothe themselves for a swim or a splash. Let’s dive in for a look at the evolution of western swimwear and the shifts in viewpoint that brought about those changes. \n \nWebsite \n  \nVendor Details: \nThe great pre-Frolic TKG member destash!!  Maybe you have buyer’s remorse about that certain sweater quantity of black yarn you know you will never ever knit up? Maybe you have run out of space in your yarn closet? For this meeting only\, there will be no outside vendor; instead\, members are encouraged to bring excess skeins from their stashes to sell. Each vendor will have one-half of a table\, or space at the front of the auditorium to display their goods\, free of charge. Vendors should be prepared to arrive before 6:30 pm\, set their own pricing and make change as required\, and take home any unsold yarn. For planning purposes\, we’d like to know how many members are interested in taking part – if you want to join in\, please email Susan Loube at lys@torontoknittersguild.ca.

SUMMARY:March - Lesley Snyder

SUMMARY:February - Kim McBrien Evans
DESCRIPTION:Kim McBrien Evans of Indigo Dragonfly \nMake It Fit! \nAs knitters\, we are 100% in control of the fit of our garments. Literally building sweaters stitch by stitch\, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t have great fitting clothing. Let’s take some time to look at what makes a great fitting garment from fabric to finishing\, demystify “ease” and how to choose a “size” that incorporates all of those things for YOU. \nA measurement session for all participants will follow this talk. If you wish to participate\, please bring: \n\ntape measure\npen or pencil\n\nPlease wear: \n\na thin\, close fitting top for best results (think about the kind of clothing you usually wear with sweaters: t shirt\, thin blouse\, tank top\, etc)\nJeans or pants with pockets in front can be helpful for some measurements\n\n  \nVendor: Indigo Dragonfly
