2010
GSLKG Pattern Contest!
To
honor our 25th anniversary, we held a contest. Since part
of our “mission statement” is to encourage the use of our
knitting skills for the benefit of others, we thought it'd
be fun to add some new original
patterns by our members to our GSLKG charity patterns. Here
are the winners (patterns are all on the Patterns
& Tips page):
One-skein
awards:
Mary Birong: Mary's
Hat for Carole
Betty Kiesewetter: Betty's
Cable Hat

Amanda Yancey: Knitted
Pique Ribbed Scarf
