April ’10 Meeting
There were more that 25 members present this month for the guest demonstrator – Helga Guyout.
As Helga’s demonstrations are packed full of information, advice and tips, it was felt that there wouldn’t be enough time to have show and tell this month and it was ‘carried over’ to next month. As a reminder next month is the biggest morning tea, please see last month’s post for more information about it.
Before Helga got started, Elanor brought us up to date with all things machine knitting locally. The St Ives show is on the 15th and 16th of May and any machine knitting entries need to be in by the 7th May so there is still time to enter something.
MacKnit has organised an event to be held on the last Saturday in May with workshops by Nancy Marchant and Margaret Ryan, the day costs $35 and more information can be found on the Macknit website www.mkansw.org.au
Since we don’t have any photo’s to show this month I thought I’d mention the Magi-Clip that I recently found.
Whilst trying to find a suitable way to file and organise the ever growing collections of old (and new) machine knitting magazines, I found the Magi-Clip made in Denmark.
Basically it is a plastic spine that you fit the magazine though and then you can put the plastic spine into any A4 style folder, thus securing your collection of magazine within folders.
I found the local supplier, Stationery World in Melbourne. The Magi-Clip come in packs of 10 and are $13.85 per pack. Postage to Sydney for three packs (30 spines in total) was $10.00
I have no affiliation with either Top-print or Stationery world, but thought others may find them as useful as I.
