I am challenging all to crochet at least one (1) 7 x 9 block a day between now and June 30th.  Let's get as many blocks done and win the Warm Up America challenge!  ~ Chanin

Warm Up America CGOA Challenge June 30, 2017

After much research on where and when to send/drop off the rectangles, I have discovered that we can either send the rectangles to the main office of Warm Up America. However, they recommend that the groups put the afghans together themselves and donate locally. At our next meeting, Tuesday, May 30, before start working on Tunisian bobbles and lace, we can decide how we want to proceed. I am still collecting rectangles and have even put a call out on my personal Facebook page to any and all crocheters (and knitters) that if they want to donate their rectangles to us or their time to put them together, I am listening. There is actually a lot more to the Warm Up America than just the afghans, which I will share with you all at the meeting as well. As of now we have about 40 rectangle but we still have about 6 weeks until the end of the challenge.  Get those crochet hooks moving and lets see how many we can get done before the end of the challenge. So for now we are collecting rectangles and will happily take donations from any and everyone who wants to participate!!!

Enjoy all and see you soon.

Crocheter Meeting on Tuesday, April 25

We had a great evening crocheting together. We continued learning more Tunisian stitches by working the Warm Up America sections to practice. We have some new members, and of course, old timers that have helped to grow this group. However, we are always looking for more people who enjoy crocheting and want to give back to the community. Come join us at our next meeting on Tuesday, May 9th! This is our casual meeting where we work on our current projects or continue to make sections for the Warm Up America project. Remember to bring any current or completed projects to show to us!  Joining the South Mountain Crochet Guild is free, so come on out and have some fun.

National Night Out!

We had a table at National Night Out in Carroll Park last night. There was a lot of interest in people who wanted to learn how to crochet, or who already crocheted and wanted to learn more.

We welcome all new members!
