Embroider Your Knitting/Crochet!
Please bring a knitted or crocheted washcloth to embellish for our charity collection. Or bring a square of a knitted/crochet item to practice on.
Please bring embroidery threads if you have them and scissors.
Adding Beads to Your Knitting/Crochet:
We will look at multiple ways to add beads to your knitting and crochet projects.
If you have a project on the needles, and some beads, you may bring them to practice.
At our July meeting we will begin work on our next charity project. It was decided that we would knit and crochet wash clothes for charity.
As part of the process of working on this project, we are going to have a presentation on “crocheting for knitters” and we will have patterns for those that would like to learn and those who are proficient at crocheting available. Knitting patterns will also be provided at the meeting.
More information will be sent prior to our meeting.

We’ll be making crochet snowflake ornaments! Join us!
This month we’ll be knitting or crocheting pumpkins! Start searching your stash for those pumpkin-colored yarns and join us!
Back by popular demand! Join us as we explore making a basket from stash yarn. We will be crocheting multiple strands and your choice of weight of yarns using a N or P hook.
The pattern is available on Ravelry: Big Beautiful Basket
If you want a preview, there is also a YouTube video.
To complete a basket, you will need 300 yards of three worsted-weight yarns, one P or N crochet hook, and at least two removable stitch markers.
Ziggurat Chevron Mosaic Crochet Blanket
We will watch a Marley Bird video on mosaic crochet. She demonstrates the beautiful, crocheted pattern used in the Yarnspirations “Ziggurat Chevron Crochet Blanket.” There will be free copies of this pattern. If you’d like to follow along, bring two contrasting colors of worsted-weight yarn and a Size H crochet hook.
Homework:
With Color A, chain 36
1st row: Using Color A, 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook and each ch to end of chain; 35 sts
Row 2: ch 1, 1 sc in each sc to end of row, changing to Color B in last stitch
We should have some extra crochet hooks if you don’t own any. (If the crocheters among us, if you can, bring a couple of extra crochet hooks.)
