Let's meet next Sunday after church

Shortly after the last post, Phyllis, Rachel and I went to Mary Maxim to purchase yarn for our two new comfortghans. Phyllis gratiously purchased enough yarn to complete both comfortghans. The first one will be in the bright primary shades of red, yellow and blue. The second one will be in pastel shades of green.

Phyllis currently has the yarn in her possession. If you would like to participate, you can purchase two balls of yarn from Phyllis for $10. If we have more people crocheting than anticipated, you may receive a slight refund on your purchase.

So far, I have received 6 completed squares for the primary-coloured afghan. Six more to go and we can start putting the squares together. Way to go crocheters!!

We're planning a time of fellowship after church next Sunday (November 5th). If you'd like to join us, please bring a lunch as we will be meeting after choir practice. You can stay for as little or as long as you like. We usually break up around 2:30 - 3:00 p.m. If you live close by, you can go home, have lunch, then return. We'll still be there!

This would be a great opportunity to receive instruction if you're stuck, learn to crochet if you're new or just enjoy time crocheting with others. I'll bring some spare crochet hooks, instruction sheets and patterns.

Just a reminder about the squares:

• they should be 12" in size (no larger, no smaller)
• you can mix colours that belong in the same colourway (e.g. red and blue or red and yellow) in the same square - that adds some variety
• you can use any pattern you wish as long as the square is exactly 12"
• ensure you don't just "cut off" the ends - leave a length of about 6-8", then sew in the ends so the square doesn't unravel. If you're not sure how to do this, please leave the ends "hanging" when you submit your square and/or ask me for directions.
