Does the guild ever do different activities for their monthly meeting? Yes, once a year we add a Swap Meet where members bring in anything related to knitting they no longer want.. Items such as yarn, yarn books, yarn accessories, etc. to name a few. We have fashion shows of items we have knitted, potluck luncheon at a guild member's home, field trip to a yarn shop, Christmas potluck at a member's house. These are examples of some of the other activities we do. Of course, right now, none of these are happening because of the pandemic.

If I want to attend a meeting, can I just show up? You sure can. We will welcome you, once we start meeting in person again or online via Zoom. A guild member will introduce you to a few members and help you find a place to sit when we are back to our normal routine.

Are these two separate guilds? No, some people find the day meetings suitable for them, others like the evening meetings. The evening guild was started to give knitters who are unable to attend during the day an opportunity to join the guild. The first meetings are being held virtually, beginning on September 9, 2020.
