GUILD MEETING
August 8, 7 p.m. (hybrid meeting) Nan Palmer Pieces of Quiet: The Link between Yoga and Knitting Why do we knit? So many reasons! To calm ourselves, to stretch our creativity muscles, to make something beautiful and/or warm, to knit something for a loved one. The goal of yoga practice is to stretch, strengthen and ready the body for being still enough to listen to that wise voice that comes to us when we reach that Zen-like place. And isn’t that what happens when we knit, either alone or in company? We relax, our thoughts become less scattered, those big problems get smaller and more manageable. And we often laugh at that too-serious part of ourselves. The goal for this presentation is to teach you some breathing techniques, some easy stretches, and take you to a place of balanced energy at the end of our practice. Nan Palmer is a Certified Yoga Therapist at Abiding Yoga Therapy. |
GUILD MEETING
September 12, 7 p.m. (hybrid meeting) Sweater Cast-On Party Come join us as we have a Cast-On Party for Sweaters in September instead of our usual presentation. Fellow members will be advising on measurements, gauge, pattern and yarn choice, technique tips, and more. We will have snacks and refreshments for the in-person folk, BYO for those online. Bring your yarn and needles, patterns, notebooks, measuring tape for taking your measurements, and headphones or earplugs for the quiet counting corner! Virtual attendees will be in a meeting, not a webinar, so you will be able to interact with each other. |
