Margie Deeb
 
Aquataine Cuffs 

Artist, graphic designer/art director, musician, and color expert Margie Deeb is the first artist /author to publish books on color specifically addressing the challenges presented by working with beads. Her books include the popular The Beader's Guide to Color and The Beader's Color Palette, which the Library Journal voted the Best Craft How-To book of 2009. Margie discussed her approach to color on a 2008 episode of the PBS TV show "Beads, Baubles and Jewels."  We are looking forward to Margie's return visit to Atlanta Knitting Guild and look forward to the program she will share with us! 

Margie will have her books and color support materials with her on that evening for purchase.

Women's Shelter Hats

On February 11, Linda Fetter delivered fifteen alpaca hats of various sizes and patterns to the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women & Children, just in time for the newest wave of cold weather.  The yarn was contributed by Georgia Mountain Fibers and the hats were knitted by about ten AKG members. 

 

If you signed out some of the yarn but were unable to bring a finished hat to the February meeting, Linda will still be collecting them and any unused yarn at the monthly meeting.

 

Thank you to all the knitters who helped on this special project.  The hats were warmly received.
