Tis that time again for the crocheters to come out to play :)
Thank you to everyone who took the reigns and made sure the meeting proceeded
without a hitch. The Square-a-Month Blanket is finished . . . . in theory :) I
know that many of you are still working on squares and some of you are still new
and only have a few patterns. Later this afternoon all of the square patterns
will be listed on our website for you to work on at any time. Tonights meeting
will focus on how to turn all of those great squares into an afghan. There are
many different techniques and I will be passing out some good resources and we
will have some demonstrations from members. Feel free to continue to work on
squares or bring projects you are working on.
HAT DRIVE!
We are going to begin passing out patterns for our hat drive next month. I
have not had too much luck with finding locations willing to let me put up a
donation box so if you know some local business who may be willing to let us,
let me know :) I still have several places to check. I am also going to bring
some flyers to the next meeting if you know of any places you can post to
encourage folks to donate hats.
Hope to see everyone tonight. 6-8pm as usual at the Wegmans!
See ya later,
Kristina

March meeting and Blog makeover
Hello everyone!
Sorry to be late to adding this blog entry. First I want to say thank you so much to all of the new folks who showed up for our March meeting. We were out-numbered by new comers. An impromptu class on a granny square broke out during the meeting and we had an absolute ball. I hope we have many returning for April's meeting (which will be tomorrow by the way).
A special thank you to Sandy Gold who allowed me to borrow her completed afghan to photograph. I used one of my pictures to create the new header for our blog. I think it gives us a fresh new look and I love the colors of the blanket against the spring flowers.
Also special thank you to those who volunteered at our last meeting to help make hats. This summer we will be hosting a hat drive and these volunteers are making samples of the hat patterns so you can see the finished products.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone for our April meeting!
Happy Crocheting.

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!
