WASHCLOTHS
FOR THE GULF
As
mentioned at our July guild meeting, here is the information
from Pat W. about the washcloths for the gulf project:
Dishcloth
Cotton
for
Pelicans: 10” x 10”
for
Dolphins: 14” x 27”
Pat
goes to the Thursday evening knit-ins at Kirkwood Knittery,
10724 Manchester Rd. (just East of Lindbergh Blvd.) in Kirkwood.
You can also drop them off to Robyn Schrager at Kirkwood
Knittery, who will get them to Pat. Robyn goes to
the knit-in at the Sunset Hills Borders on Tues mornings,
or the Collinsville Bread Co on Wed nights. You can also
contact Robyn via our GSLKG
ravelry thread or
send a private message to rms
(Robyn).
If
Pat gets the cloths by the Thursday July 29th knit-in then
her daughter will take them with her to the Gulf that weekend.
CRIB
COVERS FOR HAITI
GSLKG
Member, Sister Mary Crivello, in Taylorville, IL asks members
who are interested to knit, crochet or sew 42" x 52"
crib covers for babies in Haiti. Member Jane Bauer
and her Needle Talk Group here in St. Louis will be making
crib covers and Jane offered to collect any crib covers
we make and get them delivered to St Peter & Paul's
Church in Alton, IL. Father Michel there will forward
them on when there are enough to send.

2010
GSLKG Pattern Contest!
To
honor our 25th anniversary, we held a contest. Since part
of our “mission statement” is to encourage the use of our
knitting skills for the benefit of others, we thought it'd
be fun to add some new original
patterns by our members to our GSLKG charity patterns. Here
are the winners (patterns are all on the Patterns
& Tips page):
One-skein
awards:
Mary Birong: Mary's
Hat for Carole
Betty Kiesewetter: Betty's
