We look forward to seeing everyone at the May AKG meeting! The business part
of the meeting will involve voting and installation of our 2009-2010 executive
board. There will also be time for discussion and vote on the proposed by-laws
changes to Article III: Membership. Then the fun begins! Area shops –owners
and staff – are invited to join us please for a Market Night. Have a one
skein or stash-busting project? Bring it in for show and tell! 
The
Atlanta Knitting Guild is an independent organization that has been formed solely
for the purpose of get-togethers of people who truly love the art of knitting.
We hope to share, learn, extend and stretch our skills through each other and
outside speakers. We are open to and welcome any knitting enthusiast regardless
of skill level. Our purpose is to enrich the knitting experience by sharing
and developing the art. 
Thanks to everyone who helped with AKG's efforts to make STITCHES South a success!
XRX is now taking the flowers on the road to STITCHES Midwest and probably STITCHES
East as well. There will be more information in an upcoming Knitter's magazine
and on KnitTalk and elsewhere. Pre-STITCHES many in our industry believed that
there were no knitters in the South. We will be ending the year with our industry
knowing that Atlanta and the South is full of talented, creative knitting artists.
