SMC February Meeting

Hello there everyone!

Thank you so much to everyone who was able to join us for our February meeting.  We had a great turn out and a great time.  The Double-Framed Lace square seemed to be a pattern that everyone enjoyed working on.

I would like to send out a special thank you to Karen Gardner, Graham Cullen, and the Frederick News Post for coming to our February meeting to do a story on us.  I am pleased to say that the article was fantastic and mentioned a number of the members who were present.  I have also received numerous calls from folks in Frederick interested in coming to our meetings because of the article.  I say, the more the merrier!  If you didn't get a chance to see it in the paper (the March 8th edition of the Frederick News Post) here is a link to the article Hooked on Stitches online.

Spring is in the air!  I hope everyone is enjoying crocheting as the warmer weather begins to approach.  I encourage everyone to explore different techniques in crochet.  I have recently began playing around with tapestry crochet and bosnian crochet.  These are simple techniques using stitches and skills most crocheters already know.  I will be bringing samples of both styles to share and hope that if you see an interesting technique or style of crochet that you will share with the group.

See you all at the end of the month.  Our March meeting will be on the 27th.

See you all soon!

Well hello all you crocheters out there!!  I apologize for the delays in updating the website!  I had some technical difficulties that have now been resolved.  You will find an updated location on our Where We Meet Page and all of the current squares for our Square-A-Month Crochet along are now posted.

We will be meeting tomorrow (January 31, 2012) at our usual time at Wegmans.  I hope to see everyone there!  Please feel free to bring current projects if you wish to share what you are working on with the group.  This months square is the Lacy Sun.  It has up to 3 yarn colors and uses an I hook.

South Mountain Crocheters - August Meeting

First, let me just say . . . WOW!
We had 16 members show up for this month's meeting.  It is wonderful to see so many people who are interested in crochet!  I have added the August square to the project page here on the website.  I hope everyone is enjoying working on this project together.
October marks our 1 year anniversary!!  It amazes me to see how we continue to grow with each meeting.  Please keep in mind that as the holiday season approaches we may adjust our meeting night for November and December.  Last year we didn't have one in December because it fell too close to Christmas.  Please look ahead at your Christmas and Thanksgiving schedules and let me know what would be a good evening for those meetings.
Thank you to everyone who donated yarn to the Alabama Crocheters!  

See you all in September!!!
