South Mountain Knitters Ending

The South Mountain Knitters has been dissolved as of 2/9/12.  Thank you for your participation.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN CROCHETERS!!

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.

See you all very soon!!!!!

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!!!

SMC New Meeting Location / June Meeting

NEW LOCATION!! NEW LOCATION!! NEW LOCATION!!  

In January, AC Moore changed their room rate for us.  In that time many of you have made suggestions that we should relocate our meeting place.  I have been trying to find somewhere else willing to accommodate us and that individuals would feel comfortable coming too.  I recently spoke with the manager at Borders Bookstore on 355 and they have graciously agreed to let us meet at the bookstore at no charge.  We will be meeting in the coffee shop lounge area near the front of the store.  We will continue to meet on the last Tuesday of each month.  Although they do not provide a private room, there are a couple of local groups who meet at Borders Bookstore and find them very accommodating.  I think, for now, this solves our location issue.  So please remember, we will be meeting at Borders Bookstore until further notice.  And BONUS, it's right next to a craft store . .  . what's not to like about that, right?

AFGHAN PROJECT

Each meeting we will work on a new square at the end of the project, you will have a nice sampler afghan to display.  It will allow us to explore new stitches and help each other out.  For those of you who were unable to attend (like me), here is a link to the May Square.  Also, to give you a jump on June or if you will not be able to attend our June meeting, here is a link to the June Square.  I am going to start a page on our website to show each month's square and keep the links in one place so you can all have access as is convenient for you.  Be sure to bring your hook and yarn to work on the square during our meeting.

I look forward to seeing all of you on June 28th from 6-8 pm at Borders Bookstore Café, 5533 Urbana Pike, Frederick, MD.
