The Knitting Guild of Greater Buffalo is off to a roaring start with its first meeting at the exciting Hyatt Place location! We not only have a new home, we have an updated attitude regarding everything cyberspace! Imagine a website that is filled with links to resources we will need throughout this Guild season! Well, we have that! We have open communication with our blog and you can find us on a variety of social media sites. We have a system for weekly updates that will keep us informed with the present as well as the future.
We are now able to reflect and say, “WOW! We had a BUSY summer!” And then we realize with a team of hard workers who are willing and able, it makes it possible for these things to happen.
Here is our agenda for the season’s kick-off!
SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 / 7:00pm
HOW DOES YOUR KNITTING GROW?

~Our Guild President and Vice President will introduce the theme “Grow” for this year’s Knitting Guild Season with a program to help you grow your skills through photography and technology. We’ll learn tonight how to photograph our knits beautifully and stylishly, just like the top designers do! And we’ll go on an interactive journey into new technology that the Guild will be incorporating this season. Plus get ready to meet your fellow Guild members and learn something about them you might not otherwise know! We will play a game that will include prizes for the top three winners!
