StevenBerg’s tip for Slippery YarnThis was my “Aha!” moment at our local StevenBe Event inFebruary. Pictured below is a skein of slippery silk yarn.Steven showed us how to take it from hank-to-swift-to-ballwinder stopping periodically to add a small strip of tissue(should I have called this my “ah‘Choo!” moment?). Thetissue keeps the yarn ball from dissolving into a tangle.-Claire ChristianSpeaking of Steven It was old home week when some of ourmembers caught up with StevenBe atStitches West the very next week.The “take home” from Stitches West. Our gals piled their purchases on the hotel window seat for a prize photo.Page 2 of 8

If You’re Ever in Austin One of my favorite go-to places in Austin, TXis Hill Country Weavers. They recently movedto a new location in a larger remodeled homewith a large classroom and lots of parking. It'sa bit off the beaten path, but not too far from theold place. They were still in a bit of transition.It used to be inside an old house with lots ofcharm and tons of yarn (and slightlydisorganized). One of the fun things about theold store was the little house behind the shop that had their sale and "warehouse" items.They had a corner of sale items in the new shop, but I'm not sure if the outlet will return.I was very curious about the new place so my daughter-in-law Bridget and I went for a visit. Bridget hadnever been to a yarn store that large and was in awe. We had a very enjoyable time petting all thebeautiful yarn.-Renee PetrowskiApril BirthdaysLisa GirardMarion VargasShirley Compton (in March)I remember I was given a "surprise" partyon my 13th birthday and being a littleunsure if my birthday had been forgotten. Ithought my 40th was going to be a romanticdinner in San Francisco as had becometradition. When we dropped the kids off atmy sisters "Surprise!" There have beenmany happy birthdays between then andnow, but those two stand out as specialremembrances.Page 3 of 8

Hi, my name is April Cox and I am the Sunshine person. Most of you know that I amthe one that sends out the birthday cards each month. I wanted to make sure thateveryone was aware that I also send out Sympathy, Get Well, and Thank-youcards. However, these are only sent out when someone in the guild lets me knowthat they are needed. I wanted to make sure that you were all aware of theseoptions and that you are free to contact me whenever you become aware of a needfor one of these cards. My email address is aprilcox26@gmail.com and my phonenumber is 661-319-0514 (you can call or text). Happy Knitting!!April CoxHilda Mireya Chairez-PerezI was raised in the valley of Juarez, Mexico, the border of El Paso, Texas. At theage of six, my mother taught me needle point. I made towels for our flour tortillasand each towel was embroidered with different fruit, flowers, and many other thingsrelated to cooking. I also embroidered the days of the week. My mom would finishthe towels with a crochet edging. By the time I was seven I wanted to do everythingon the towels, so I asked my mom to teach me how to crochet and knit. She beganby showing me how to crochet chains. Sadly, my mother became ill and her missionto teach me came to an end a year later when she died of cancer. I only have a fewthings I remember of her that made me who I am now. I can still see her handsteaching me needlepoint. She would undo my mistakes, being careful to explainwhy. Her advice to me which I treasure the most is, “When you are learning to doa craft, do it with passion, give everything you have inside your heart, butmost important of all, pray that it will turn out as beautiful as what is insideyour heart! Be proud of what you accomplish! Remember that craft is forpleasure, relaxation and to enjoy. If you do a craft because you have toplease people then you will learn to hate it and it will be work!”I went to live my father’s mother. This grandmother was from the 1800’s, neverattended school, but was a very smart lady. She knew how to crochet and sew, andhad many other talents. As far back as I remember, she had a little store in herhouse. She would sell new clothes that she bought in El Paso, but the best sellerswere her American candy and sodas. She took over the mission of teaching me.Page 4 of 8

She would tell me, “Today I am going to teach you a new stitch and you are going tolearn how to make windows, houses, crosses, petals, worms, and many otherthings.” I learned how to crochet many different stitches and that is when the funbegan. She taught me how to make doilies.After a year of living with my grandmother, my father came for us and we all went tolive with him in Modesto, California. I was blessed with my father’s new wife knewhow to crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, sew and do drawn threadwork. I asked her if she would teach me and she did. After I got married and hadchildren, I was able to make my daughter’s dresses and hair bows and decorate herunderwear and socks. I crocheted my children’s baby blankets. In the summer, Iwould make them with cotton fabric and decorate them with drawn thread.In order to decorate my children’s birthday cakes, I took a class in cake decorating.Later I made wedding cakes for most of my brothers and Quinceañera celebrationcakes for my nieces. A few years after that, I was determined to learn how to knit. Iasked around but could not find someone to teach me. I bought some needles anda book and learned how to knit from the pictures. While pregnant with my last baby,I knitted her a baby blanket. After she was born, I taught myself how to makesweaters, then knitted sweaters for all of my children. Family and friends wouldalways tell me what a great job I did, but I never took it as a compliment becausethey knew I was poor and that it was the only way I could dress my children. Whenmy children were grown and out of the house, a great friend taught me how to makedolls and her mother taught me how to quilt. I made several quilts including aDisney car quilt for my first grandson, Manual.Now I am in the knitting guild and continue to learn what I have always wanted tolearn. I am blessed with 5 grandchildren and I knit for all of them! My firstgranddaughter Natalia loves coming to my house and now she says, “Grandmaplease teach me how to knit!” I see myself in her and I see how my story of learningand teaching continues with my precious loved ones. I’m hoping that my youngestgranddaughter Frenchie will one day come to me and ask, “Nani, will you teachme how to knit?”Page 5 of 8
