Machine Knitters Guild of San Diego
Machine Knitters News
Our next meeting on August 2nd will be held in the
Make Lively Studio and on Zoom. Trish O’Brien will be
presenting a demonstration of her fabulous tank tops completed on the G-Carriage. She used Design-a-knit for the pattern, and we can’t wait to see how she created them.
She has arranged for many interesting programs and presenters for the next year. You won’t want to miss any of them.
Please remember to renew your membership by the end of June. You may pay by check or PayPal and it’s a bargain at $35.00 per year. Also, please update any information when you renew your membership.
