October Guild Meeting Recap

I was really pleased to see that we had so many knitters attend the meeting. I really enjoyed Charisa's presentation on how to take good photos. Two things that really stood out for me was:

1. get it off the bed/table-great advice, I'm looking forward to playing around with that idea and
   
2. use your camera to capture colors in nature for inspiration on choosing color schemes for knitting projects~ what a novel idea! :) 
   

    I really liked Melissa's [Knit New(s)] presentation. She did an awesome job and her visuals were beautiful~ I felt really nostalgic, my mom used to make beautiful granny afghans, the ones that Melissa showcased were lovely. I also really related to what Melissa said, during her presentation, about always choosing black/browns or neutral colors for garments... I do the same, I don't feel confident picking colors a lot of times, and having some inspiration from nature or a photographic source would be great.
    
    I liked that we all got to vote on a bag for the Seattle to Portland Yarn Train, and I'm excited that I'm going to be able to attend this year. It will be my first time on this trip and only my second time on a train.

    I think this is going to be a great year for the guild, and it's great to be able to connect with so many creative people.
