Fox Valley Knitters Guild Gallery Reception and Show at Fine Line

Recent temperatures may not be an indication of what‘s to come in the coming months but members of the Fox Valley Knitting Guild know better.  They would like to share their most recent projects with fellow knitters, other textile artisans and friends of the community who are interested in the art of knitting.

Fine Line Creative Arts Center in St. Charles will host the Guild’s upcoming Gallery Show, BACK TO THE LAND, beginning with an opening reception, Friday evening, September 9 from 5:30 to 8.  Refreshments will be served as well as raffle prizes, and gifts for those attending.  The public is invited.   The show will continue through October 15.

Featured are six different categories within the BACK TO THE LAND theme of the show.  Categories include: earth tones and green peas, timeworn traditions, all creatures great and small, cloud watching, simple gifts and these boots were made for walking.

Knitted items include coats, sweaters, cowls, purses, socks, children’s toys, and afghans. Lacy shawls, felted ornaments and hand-dyed yarns will provide inspiration for the gift-giving holiday season ahead.

The purpose of the Fox Valley Knitters' Guild is to promote and foster an interest in knitting, to provide the opportunity for study and sharing to broaden one's skills, and to encourage high standards of design and technique in various forms of knitting.
