Meeting Topics (November 2010)

Got an idea for a monthly meeting topic? Would you be willing to take the lead for a monthly meeting? Could you teach a new skill? Is there something crochet-related on which you could use some help?

If so, post a comment.

Topics covered in the past include broomstick lace, hairpin lace, and solomon's knot.

Here's a list of things that interest me or give me trouble:

• Using variegated yarns to best advantage (I love them, they don't love me)
• Making exploded lace work (choosing the right yarns, correcting gauge, finding the right hook)
• Tunisian--particularly using the right hook
• Crochetknit
• Blocking

We will try to do the bracelet project in December. Gail will be making the pattern available. Check the blog for more in. I will update as needed.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Beaded Tunisian Bracelet: Noveber 13 Meeting Preview

We next meet on Saturday, November 13^th, at 2:30 pm in the Borealis Yarn meeting room. Gail will teach us how to make a beaded bracelet using the tunisian stitch.

Bring an ounce or two of 1/8” wide ribbon yarn, some 20mm beads (the hole in the beads must be large enough for the ribbon to fit through ) and an F hook. You do not need an afghan hook, a regular one will do. Ribbon yarn can be purchased at Borealis, but Maxine will be bringing some to share that was purchased last weekend at the Color Crossing outing. The 20mm beads are larger than seed beads and smaller than pony beads. Since we will have to string the beads on the yarn before crocheting, you might want to bring along a small paper plate to catch stray beads and ease the process.
