Free pattern for a beautiful scarf!

The On the Bias Scarf is a free pattern available to all! The pattern is simple but has a big wow factor thanks to the yarn: Junction Fiber Mill Making Tracks Lite or Feederbrook Farm ENTROPY DK. Don’t feel like you have to use a gradient with long, gradual color changes. The scarf will be just as
warm if knit in a solid color or several different colors.

Check out our Free Patterns page for more! https://tkga.org/free-patterns/

Have you stopped by our fun "All about chickens" themed demonstration booth over in the Exhibition Hall at the Cumberland Fair yet? But wait! What's with the adorable sheep tucked in among all those hens? Well, earlier in the year, we partnered with Maine Fibershed to create a fun and educational swatch board of various locally raised Maine fiber yarns. Come see it and us and be sure to say Hello! We love to talk about knitting and yarn!

As we look to the end of summer and the beginning of fall, our Guild has plenty going on! Plan to come join us for updates on all the projects and some much-needed social knitting!

We will be wrapping up our Dempsey Center KAL so bring in your finished donations if you weren't able to bring them in August, going over important last-minute plans for Cumberland Fair (see below), announcing our next KAL, AND most importantly, checking out our wonderful Show & Shares from everyone!

Cumberland Fair Member reminders for this meeting:
>>>Please bring your finished chicken projects for our demonstration table, labeled with your name so we can safely return them. Small tags will also be available to label your project for it's return after the Fair.

>>> If you would like to enter an item for judging at the Fair, you can bring it to this meeting, and we will get it to the Fairgrounds if you are unable to do so. Use the form listed under our Cumberland Fair tab or paper forms will be available at this meeting.

>>>We will be passing out your shift passes for the Fair. Please be sure to make arrangements with Jen T if you will not be at this meeting and need to pick up a pass. You can reach her at our Guild email.

>>>If you have any "baseball" sized balls of light or bright worsted yarn rolling around your stash that you would like to re-home, please bring it to this meeting. We will use them in our "Learn to Knit" kits for the Fair.

Plan to come join us for terrific knitting fun!

Who is already having fun following the Maine Yarn Cruise for 2026? It's the 9th year for the Cruise which began July 1st and ends October 12th. And this year there are 26 wonderful LYS for you to visit! You can get all the details at their website www.maineyarncruise.com

For those who haven’t participated before, the Maine Yarn Cruise is not an actual boat cruise, rather it’s a summer and early fall yarn crawl. As a “cruiser”, you can visit any participating shop to purchase a passport with a custom MYC bag, complete with goodies from our wonderful sponsors and shops. Then start your cruise and visit as many shops as you can between July 1st, and October 12th.

Each shop offers monthly prizes and a grand prize drawing. And if you visit all the shops, you can enter the drawing to win our End-of-the-Road Grand Prize—a $400 gift card and second place is a $200 gift card to the MYC shop of your choice. Throughout the summer, you can expect special events, local festivals, knit-a-longs, crochet-a-longs, prizes, and other fun.

Join the 9th annual Maine Yarn Cruise! Explore top yarn stores in Maine and connect with fellow fiber art enthusiasts. Don't miss this yarn-filled adventure!
