South Mountain Knitters Meeting 12/21/10

We had a nice intimate meeting of the South Mountain Knitters on 12/21.  This is such a busy time of year, we totally understand everyone's commitments.  Kyrie showed us how she blocks her projects using a blocking board, wires and pins.  I know I learned a lot from her demo.  She volunteered to do it again for us at a future meeting when we have more folks attending. Our next meeting will be January 18, 2011 at 7PM.  Evelyn will give a demo of the magic loop method of knitting in the round.  Have a wonderful holiday season everyone and knit on!

SMC November Meeting

The South Mountain Crocheters had a wonderful meeting on the 30th!  Thank you to everyone who came out.  Here are some of the highlights if you missed it.

• Stephanie demonstrated and assisted some of the members with learning to crochet in the round. 
• We discussed the generous donation from Mr. Clarence Fogle of yarn in memory of his late wife.  The members who were present signed a thank you card and took home som of the yarn.  We also discussed using some of the yarn at our January meeting to make 6" charity squares.  If you would like to get a jump on making them I have plenty of yarn.  Email me and we can set a time to meet so you may get some free yarn.  Stephanie will be collecting the squares to send.
• The South Mountain Crocheters and Knitters will be meeting at 9:30 am at the parking lot of Joann's for a day trip to The Mannings in East Berlin PA.  If you are interested simply show up and car pooling will be arranged at that time.  We will visit the Mannings and stop for lunch on the way back.
• Our next meeting will be in January on the 25th.  We are hoping Catherine will be available to demonstrate the making of the rugs by recycling plastic grocery bags.  Once I have confirmaion on this I will notify everyone if they need to bring supplies.

I hope that everyone has a fantastic holiday season and wish everyone the best.  Enjoy crocheting your gifts and hope to see everyone in January.  Again, if you would like to make some 6" charity squares email me at smcrocheters@yahoo.com for details and if you would like to use the free yarn.

See you all soon!!!
