Machine Knitters Guild of San Diego

Vista Fiber Fest at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum

We did not have an April guild meeting or demonstrator so that we could attend and participate in the Vista Fiber Arts that weekend.  It
was much larger than that first year. There were several interesting demonstrations, yarn, and many other things to see. There was even an adorable baby lamb.  Our time there was enjoyed by all.

Bill King

Bill King will be demonstrating more single bed techniques on May 4, 2024 and we always look forward to his innovative designs.   

Philanthropy Projects for this Month

  • Please knit lots of hats.  
  • We need hats for premies, and chemo hats, and hats for veterans.
  • Knit lots of socks.
  • Don’t forget lap blankets and shawls and twiddle muffs.
  • Knit puppets and wheelchair covers.

Check out our Philanthropy Patterns and our Free Patterns.

Barbie just made connections for more places to donate and anything you make is welcome and will find a home.
