The Fall colors are here -reds, oranges, yellows – it’s beautiful! Are you ready for our next Creative Workshop? It’s here – coming up on October 11th from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm, and please bring your lunch!
We had a good turnout for our Pillowcase Marathon – thank you to all who helped out! We’re almost at that 100 count, so if you have some you have finished, please bring them in.
Do you have a better grasp on how to size hats in knitting and crochet? Great! Get ready for the next lesson!
Sewing Lesson: We’re going to make Heart Pillows for Riverview Cancer Center! These are both comforting and functional. You can use a variety of fabrics that are soft to the touch: cotton, fleece, microfiber, flannel, or velvet.
You will need two 16″ x 20″ pieces of washable fabric; please prewash ahead of time. The two fabrics don’t have to be the same, and you can play with fun and cheerful combinations. Plus bring coordinating thread to match. We will also have some fabric ready for you to use.
Because of Copyright, we can’t post the pattern on the website, but it will be available at our Creative Workshop.
Knit / Crochet Lesson: Granny Squares – The Basics
Materials:
2 – 4 colors of worsted weight (group 4) yarn
Size G, H, and I crochet hooks
We will go over the basics of the granny square, including how to make it square, good corners, changing colors, and the finishing round. Granny squares can be made in multiple colors or even just one! Great way to use up those odds and ends, leftovers, and scraps of yarn. We will discuss the many uses of granny squares – from scarves to sweaters and everything else in between.
Bookmarks: Bookmarks for the women at Wheeler Mission. We’re starting to get quite a few of them, thank you for your help! We’ve had fun, and created some unique and pretty bookmarks! If you would like to try something very easy and creative with no skill required, this is for you! Supplies and materials will be provided, just bring your willingness and imagination!
