Don't forget! We meet this coming Tuesday, January 13,
from 6:30 to 9 pm at St. Columban Church.

Remember to sign-in and to buy raffle tickets when you
come in. There will also be a sheet to sign up for show-and-share. As many people will get to share as time allows.

Cast On/Bind Off
is the program for the evening, honoring our out going president and welcoming the new one. You need to bring a small ball of light colored scrap yarn, needles and a crochet hook appropriate for the weight of yarn, and a chibi or yarn needle.

We'll be finding out the details about our second Sneaky Sheep Swap ~ known as S3.2.
The item to be swapped will be revealed and everyone wanting to participate will have the opportunity to sign up. Last year we had bagsful of fun as members collected tidbits of information from/about each other to help them decide what kind of bag to make
for their secret swap partner.

Her work is beautiful and she brought several samples to share. Melynda graciously offered a discount on her online patterns for the month of March for our guild members!

Now writing a pattern didn’t come easy, there were many mistakes along the way, but I stuck with it and finally I had a pattern I was proud to publish on Ravelry.
