Margaret's newest book <i>The Knowledgeable Knitter</i> (also from Storey) was released in September 2014 </span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Margaret’s books explore knitting techniques in a depth well beyond what’s usually presented and do so in a way that makes both the techniques and their appropriate uses clear to readers. As a designer, her specialty is rewarding garments that look complicated but rely on the simplest knitting techniques. As a publisher, she focuses on patterns that help knitters learn new techniques and improve their skills. As a teacher, Margaret enthusiastically teaches everything from beginning knitting to garment design, and is acclaimed for her ability to help all knitters to become independent and creative. </span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Margaret's many teaching venues have included the John C. Campbell Folk School, The Knitting Guild Association (TKGA), Stitches Expos, The National Needlearts Association (TNNA), The Madrona Fiberarts Winter Retreat, Webs, KnittaPalooza, cruise ships and windjammers, and shops and fiber guilds across the U.S. and into Candada. </span></span><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms";">Like many knitters, Margaret has a varied background. She has degrees in Medieval Studies and English Literature, has been a teacher, auditor, programmer, business executive, research administrator, dancer and editor. <span style="color: #b45f06;"></span></span></span>Des Moines Knitting Guildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12786715727945614881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354565002779573363.post-72685135233097186622016-03-04T00:20:00.002-06:002016-03-04T00:24:31.804-06:00March HappeningsAs usual we have a lot going on in March.

We will start at 6:30 to serve food. We will provide a potato bar with fixings, place settings and beverages. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.<br />
<br />
If you would like to participate in a gift exchange, please bring a wrapped gift of approximately $15 value (NOT a white elephant!). If you have any knitting related items to add to the door prizes, wrap them and give to Chris at the start of the party.<br />
<br />
If you have items for the mitten trees, bring them along as Kathy will tally them and we will decorate the Grace Lutheran tree at our party and the Urbandale Library tree on Wednesday December 2 at 10 a.m.<br />

Looking forward to see everyone and having a fun Christmas party!!<br />
