Meetings

Next meeting will be Monday, June 17, 2013 in the large meeting room at Joplin Public Library, 5:30pm – 8:00pm or any part of that time you can make it.

It’s Locker Hooking class night. Check back again later today or tomorrow and I will update what you are suppose to bring. I do know our teacher said she was bringing most of the supplies we will need. (Thank you Shelly.) I am pretty sure you can bring one of your Knook hooks.

The Knooking class from May has been postpone until later this summer since we had a tornado warning and the entire library full of patron in our meeting room last month. I will add the information soon.

You are always welcome to BYOP that you are working on even on a class night. Plus bring any of your projects you would like to for Show n Tell.

Each month I will edit this post to show the next meeting.

 

April 2013 Show n Tell

We had several try the crochet crab stitch. There is only one picture of of this edging but maybe some of the others will bring their completed ones next month.

So much to see. We were missing several of our regulars. Hope everyone is well and working on wonderful projects.

 

Classes and BYOP dates in 2013

Since I have had several requests about when is what. Here they are for the 2013 year: (All meetings are the 3rd Monday of the month except December)

February – Organize your space – Homework assignment for the year is to organize some craft space and bring in pictures of before and after.

March – Bring Your Own Project – anything you can work on while talking and laughing with the others.

April – Crab Crochet Stitch – (this picture is from www.how-to-crochet-instructions.com) – just bring some yarn and a crochet hook (light color yarn is usually easier to learn a new stitch with).

May – Knooking – (I bought my kit from Hobby Lobby, I will post on the monthly meeting if we find somewhere else to at least get the hooks from) – it’s crocheting that looks like knitting

July – Bring Your Own Project – anything you can work on while talking and laughing with the others.

August – Edging – various techniques by a few of our wonderful and talented ladies

December – meet the 2nd Monday of the month (December 9th, 2013) – White Elephant trade – Bring anything crafty you already own that you know you are not going to use. We have had open craft kits, craft books, leftover and unused skeins of yarn and much more over the years.

 

Show n Tell – January 2013

It feels like winter today, probably won’t tomorrow. That is Missouri for you. Don’t like the weather, just wait a day or two. Though I would rather have snow then ice any day.

What a wonderful variety of Show n Tell we had this month. Just take a look

Can you guess what this is?

 

December 2012 Show n Tell

A few members missed the meeting because we move the December meeting a week earlier then our normal 3rd Monday meeting. But for the 15 that were able to come, the white elephant trade was amazing. I am always surprised with what you ladies have brought. I was able to get some wonderful items to add to my home. Apparently homemade items are getting very popular. Trying to get supplies to complete my Christmas presents this year has become challenging. Even trying to order online, I found lots of backordered items. Here is just a sampling of what the ladies have been working on to get ready for Christmas, oh, I finally got the leaves put on the strawberry hat that every saw from our Crocodile stitch class:

  

 

Show n Tell for November 2012

We had several more ladies learn the Crocodile stitch so I have posted the strawberry hat that I made for my youngest granddaughter. I look forward to seeing what the ladies will make with that crochet stitch in the new year. We discussed a wide range of classes for 2013 but you will have to wait a bit until I get them posted. They sound like lots of fun.
