A message from our president ! I want to take this opportunity to bid a fond farewell to Sue Von Ohlsen as she and her husband move back to her hometown near Baltimore so they can be close to and help her parents. Sue is a knitting icon in our community and will be greatly missed. I don’t think there ever was a knitting mistake (no matter how disastrous) that Sue couldn’t fix. I can’t remember a time when I was in her shop that someone didn’t come in with an “emergency” that needed immediate attention which Sue gave or took home so she could spend some time fixing a knitting mistake. Sue taught many of you how to knit, or tricks of the trade, or, more importantly, how to read your knitting and fix your own mistakes without completely ripping out a project.! ! I want to thank Sue for all the support she gave the Guild through her shop, service on the Guild board as the programs coordinator, presenting several programs at our monthly meetings and judging and helping with our first knitting contest. We called on her again to do a couple workshops at our last retreat doing what else: reading your knitting and fixing mistakes.! ! Not only is Sue a Master Knitter and a great teacher, she also is an accomplished artist who works with fiber and beads. You have! (continued on page 2)# www.tkgv.blogspot.com
