Our next meeting will be Tuesday, January 15th from 6:00 – 8:00pm in Conference Room A at the Richland Library.
The 2018 Initial Color Challenge was a hit, several knitters brought in their projects. We had 5 shawls, 2 teddies, 1 pillow, 1 hat, a pair of socks and a scrubby. The mom and daughter who did the pillow and the top right shawl had the same initials but used different colors. Thanks to Central Oregon’s Spinners and Weavers Guild (COSW) for their great idea. We had fun doing this challenge and are looking for another challenge project for 2019.
After watching way too many Hallmark Christmas movies Leah decided she could write her own movie. Just add Ice Skating, Gingerbread, Kids, Snow, a Kiss, a Single Mom/Dad and a conflict ten minutes before the end.
2019 is our Tenth Anniversary. We are going to concentrate on Charity Projects.
Now that Project Warm-Up is gone we have a list of local non-profits and their needs. Please call before taking anything over because some agencies do not have any storage and only want items at specific times. Check out the list at the end of this article.
