We all know that post-Yarnover feeling. 🤪

“The selection of classes was fantastic. I don’t think anyone attending could go wrong. Both classes were well taught and I learned new techniques in both.”
Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Thanks again to @DeviousKnitter for an awesome mini-class tonight as part of the monthly #MNKnitGuild meeting! We learned a cool 2-tone cast on and had fun with Latvian braids!
We even got to hear from Barb Lind, who is not only a #masterknitter, but is also a volunteer @TKGAGuild reviewer for others completing the program. An expert to the max!
A reminder that #mnknitguild members can apply for grant funding to complete @TKGAGuild classes thanks to the generous donations we received from @givemn/#gtmd2021!

Really great #mnknitguild meeting tonight, featuring a panel of 4 of our very talented (and patient! and dedicated!) members!
They are sharing their experiences of becoming certified #masterknitters through @TKGAGuild!
Earlier this week we hosted our 2022 #serviceknitting partners (Sanya's Hope for Children [@SanyaPirani1] + @MovefwdMN) to learn more about their missions & the great work they do!
We are so pleased to be partnering this year! Learn more at knitters.org/service-knittin…
