Join the Carolinas Machine Knitters Guild

Why would you want to join our Guild and how would you do it?

We're a fun bunch of people!
We have members from all over the world who have just about any knitting machine you've ever heard of.
We like to include all our members in anything we can dream up to keep us all knitting.
Our Machine Knitting contest has included members from everywhere, including Belgium and England.
We have one of the few knitting machine publications that come out once a month. That's right, your $20 will give you a newsletter that can be packed full of patterns & techniques (dependent on member submissions), ideas for all machines, hints and tips, and even a monthly recipe designed to save you time in the kitchen (so you can get back to your true love--the machine).
DUES are only $20 per year. Our membership year runs from January 1 to December 31. Dues are not prorated for those who join during the year.
Dues for the new year will be accepted January 1 thru January 31st for renewals.
Newsletters dating back to March, 2003, are available to current members on an Newsletter Archive CD for a nominal cost, and several years of newsletters are available at our Archive Site for members only download. You can join at any time and have access to a tremendous volume of patterns and discussion.
We encourage you to download all membership materials. If you require these materials to be mailed to you via post outside the USA, there will be an additional cost for postage. We do offer to do what we can to assist you in the information you need to use the download option.
MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES a monthly newsletter & Membership in our Guild. New members will be invited by e-mail to join our Forum. This is an invitation-only group and will not cause you spam problems. You will get a world-wide knitting community to share your questions, experiences and enthusiasms. Guild membership also allows you access to our special events such as our membership-wide contest. We try to include events that everyone can participate in regardless of how far apart we all live.
BYLAWS

THE CMKG NEWSLETTERS are available as a download from our site every month*. The editors announce the mot recent version on the Forum. Those who are unable to gain access to it that way may request a paper version. If you wish to receive paper copies by mail you must specify this when you join. We do encourage you to download the newsletter if you are able, because the photos are in color and larger that way--plus, you'll get it faster. Unless we hear otherwise, we'll assume that the newsletters are reaching you.

It is the responsibility of each member to contact an for help if the newsletter doesn't arrive within a reasonable time. Do so right away so as not to miss out.
