Our next meeting will be Tuesday, February 18th from 6:00 – 8:00pm in Conference Room A at the Richland Library.
We sorted through the donation yarn (Thank you Gale) picking out the Lavenders, Purples, Cream and Greens for the Summer Reading Afghan Imagine Your Story. Think of Fairy Tales and Mythological Creatures with a bit of Harry Potter thrown in also. Thank you to Nancy for helping with the ball winding. Several knitters took home yarn to start squares. Remember to adjust your gauge so the Squares will be at least 8.5 inches square including a 5 seed stitch border on all 4 sides.
