4th Saturday meetup: November 28

It's meetup time again - Saturday November 28 - when we gather for crochet, chat, and coffee. This month we're back at a spot that offers even more fun - a great selection of craft books - the Cafe at the Barnes and Noble at HarMar Mall in Roseville.  The meetup will be from 9 AM (when the store opens) until  noon - the cafe is in the center of the store and we'll be the crowd with the crochet hooks.

Meetups are our informal gathering each month - open to all crocheters with no fee for attending - with a special welcome extended to new crocheters. Bring a project to work on - or not, if you just want to chat or ask questions - and come when you can and stay as long as you're able.

We hope to see you there!

Tapestry Crochet and CAL IV: November 14 meeting preview

The CAL vest project is almost complete so this month's topic is a change of pace - Tapestry Crochet - another of those simple techniques that looks complex and produces beautiful results like this selection. We can't promise that you'll win ribbons like Carla has, but we do promise that you'll have fun!

The meeting will be Saturday, November 14 at the Textile Center of Minnesota, 3000 University Ave SE, with the following schedule:

• 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM - Open Crochet
• 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM - Announcements and Show n Tell
• 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM - Crochet Education (Tapestry Crochet)

To get the most out of this meeting you'll need to bring:

• At least two colors of light to medium-weight yarn - a few ounces of each color; light or medium colors are easiest to work with. 
• Appropriate sized crochet hook for the yarn

If you are participating in the CAL and need individual check-in with the CAL leaders, be sure to bring along:

• Completed vest pieces
• Any questions you have
• Your printed copy of the Level 1 Crocheted Vest
