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
DESCRIPTION:Lesley Snyder of Rosehaven Yarn Shop \nA handful of colour theory\, a dash of texture\, and a sprinkle of hand-dyeing colour-play are the main ingredients that keep Lesley’s colour senses satisfied. In this evening of lively talk and scrumptious imagery\, Lesley will serve up some of the nuno felted and knitted pieces that she has created over the past decade\, along with detailing a few of her influences and inspirations. \n \n  \nVendor Details: \nRosehaven Yarn Shop\, located in Picton\, Prince Edward County\, carries indie-dyed yarns and various yarn labels\, including Quince & Co. and Brooklyn Tweed. They also carry fibres for spinning and weaving\, and of course everything you need for felting. Check out their online store.

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
