The chairman gave out some notices – reminding us about the Sandown show and the upcoming workshop on the 6th October. We are also short of ideas for speakers for the 2013-14 season so any suggestions are welcome.
This month was a crochet workshop led by Judy and Yvonne, they brought yarn and hooks for anyone who did not bring their own and lots of sample – granny squares, garments and curly scarves.
We all had a lovely time learning to crochet a curly scarf, quite an easy pattern just a few chain (10-20 stitches) and a foundation row in double crochet, followed in each subsequent row of either double or trebles two into each stitch in the preceding row. Until you get arm ache as the number of stitches doubles for each row! Most people managed around 4 or 5 rows in the time then the usual coffee and delicious cake was served followed by a raffle.
After coffee we continued with the crochet and chatter.
Gillian brought some knitted novelty items she had finished: three owls in a basket and a hedgehog.
