that the magazine subscriptions be renewed. Carried.

Back to Back Competition. Ann reported. The paper carried great photos,
including Ann sewing the sweater together. Learning: switch knitters
every few inches so sleeves are a matching length. A tightly spun thread
is better. Ann would like to see a repeat contest on Saturday, May 28, at
Mt. Ida Hall at Harmonious Homestead. If you wish to participate, contact
Ann. We could invite other guilds to participate.
