November - Learn to Crochet Continuation

We will continue with our basics in crochet this month with a continuation of last month's lessons by the fabulous Susan. 

November 14th, 2-4pm, Larry J. Ringer Library, College Station, TX.

*Must have paid one-time $20 dues to participate*

If you’re brand new to hooking or if you’re an old pro, join in the fun and follow along as we crochet squares - starting with the very, very basics and progressing one square at a time through 63 crochet stitches!

Detailed group instruction will be provided at the October and November meetings, then we’ll adjust the amount of instruction at meetings based on the group’s ongoing needs.

We will be using the Sampler Afghan pattern by Darla Sims, available in booklet form Amazon or as a Ravelry Download (see pattern page for more info). The booklet has been published with a couple of different covers, so if you have one or find one that looks different, don’t panic. If it’s 63 squares by Darla Sims, it’s almost certainly the same book.

The November meeting will cover double crochet, treble crochet, and half double crochet as we move on to squares 3, 4, and 2. (I will introduce them out of order for reasons). After that, we’ll shoot for two squares a month, in order.

The pattern is geared toward a three-color afghan, but do it however you like! I’m going to stash dive and make the most colorful blanket I can from the yarns I have. There are no rules! smiley

So grab some worsted weight yarn, a size H hook, a copy of the pattern, and start an afghan journey with us!

February Meeting and Social Knits

Our February Meeting will be on Feb. 9th at 7PM at the Habitat for Humanity Classroom/House - 119 Lake St, Bryan.

The agenda includes discussion of a T-shirt order and news.

We will also discuss the 2017 Mystery Knit-along, and the first part of the pattern will be given.  The full details can be found on the tab above.  If you have picked out your yarn already, please bring it to share.

We will also be doing a center-based activity to learn cast-ons and bind-offs.  If you wish to bring yarn or needles for that you may, but we will provide everything.

As always, activities are optional and you may just hang out and knit.

A group of ladies has been meeting on Tuesday Nights from about 5-7 for social knitting.  They usually meet at Gogh-Gogh Coffee off of HWY 6 and Barron Rd, but sometimes it changes.  Check the Ravelry thread for details!

And there's always Sundays at WC in Navasota, where many members meet from 12-5 (come and go) every week!
