2015 Hat Drive

This year, we are setting our goal as 500 hats for Frederick County Schools, specifically Emmitsburg, Hillcrest, Lincoln, Waverly, and Sabillasville. We have three hat drive meetings, August 25, September 29, and October 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Wegmans.

Even if you don't feel like making hats, you can simply sit and work on a project of your choice.

As of our August 25 meeting, we have 35 hats.

A new year

Happy 2015! This year, we're going to learn (or practice) a different stitch every month. We'll have both a hat pattern and an afghan square pattern to try, so you can have a bunch of hats or an afghan done this year (or both, if you like).

For the January 27, 2015 meeting, bring worsted weight yarn and a G or H hook. We'll be working on a set of similar stitches: the puff stitch (also known as the bobble stitch), the popcorn stitch, and the berry stitch. These stitches generally show up better with a solid color yarn than with a variegated yarn.

Hope to see you at the meeting!
