Meetings
The Guild meets at 7:30pm on the first Thursday of each month. If there
is a conflict with a holiday, we then meet the second Thursday of the
month. Social hour starts at 6:30. Any changes are announced well in advance
in our monthly newsletter. We meet at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church at
4755 North Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA 30338-5812. For detailed meeting

Each meeting begins by discussing general Guild business and goings-on:
community service projects, get togethers, upcoming programs and workshops,
and even shop news from our member shop owners. We definitely have a sense
of humor and always delight in finding the latest knitting-related cartoon,
funny story in a magazine or silly anecdote on the Internet.
We then have a special program which consists of a lecture or demonstration
about knitting or some fiber related topic while members sit quietly and
knit. Besides drawing on our own wealth of talent, the guild has been
fortunate over the years to be able to bring in well known authors, designers
and teachers. See the Workshop page for details.
Your membership gives you the use of our wonderful library of knitting
and knitting-related books. magazines, patterns, and videos. As a member
you can check them out to use at home for your next knitting project.
The best part of every meeting is our "Show and Tell," where
members bring projects in various stages of completion to show off, and
to share problems and solutions. Here, we know our skill can be applauded
and appreciated whether it be an elaborately designed sweater, a simple
scarf, lace shawl, or the beginning of one's first sock.
