Thanks to everyone who came to crochet last Sunday. We've now reached our first goal of 12 completed squares. In fact, I believe we've surpassed our goal by about 4 squares. That just means we can keep on going and make another! I do know that there are many people in the group who are still working on their squares and that's just great. There is no race and everyone should work at his/her own pace!

Here's what we discussed at our last meeting:
  • The group decided that we'd take a short break for Easter. We'll meet again this Sunday but we'll take 2 weeks off and resume again on Sunday, April 30th. Continue to crochet at your leisure at home if you wish during the break
  • We'd like to go on a "yarn crawl" in the near future. There was interest expressed in visiting a yarn store to see what's available. There's also a Knitter's Frolic coming up on Saturday, April 22nd. Phyllis, Emily S. and myself are planning to go as we went last year and enjoyed it. It's essentially a large "yarn and pattern exibition". Purveyors of yarn from across the country (and probably North America) go to this yearly event to "show off" and sell their goods. Prepare to be amazed but bring money as you'll be tempted to buy. They have yarn and patterns in all price ranges.
  • We're also planning to crochet outside when the weather gets warmer. Perhaps even visit someone's home and crochet in the backyard
  • Gwen suggested we "lunch" after church one Sunday just before church breaks for the summer. We also discussed briefly whether the crochet club will continue during the summer. We decided to wait and see how the momentum continues

No pics this week although there's plenty to "show off". Watch for photos after next week's post. Martha has chosen some gorgeous green yarn to begin a poncho. Gwen has been experimenting with an assortment of squares that's she's found in the 63 Granny Squares leaflet.

Keep up the good work everyone!!
