July 9 Meeting Preview: Double-ended crochet

This month’s education topic will be twice the fun, because two hooks are surely better than one! Join us as we learn some basic stitches using a double-ended crochet hook.


The meeting will be held Saturday, July 9, at the Textile Center, 3000 University Ave SE, with the following schedule:

• 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM - Open Crochet
• 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM - Announcements and Show and Tell
• 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM - Education Session
• 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM – Open Crochet

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

• A double-ended crochet hook if you have one.

• Two contrasting colors of worsted-weight yarn - one light and one dark.

If you're new to Crochet Twin Cities, you can join us by downloading our  membership form and bringing the amount shown on the form to the meeting, or you can pay the non-member fee of $5 for attending one meeting. New members/visitors are encouraged to arrive between 10:30 and 11 a.m.

4th Saturday meetup: June 25th

This month's meetup
Saturday, June 25th from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Bruegger's Southtown (Bloomington, 494 & Penn).

If you're new to the group, meetups are held at rotating locations around the metro where we can grab a cup of coffee and sit and crochet and chat. It's all very informal - but lots of fun! You can drop in any time and stay as long as you're able.

There's no charge to attend a meetup so it's a great way to meet us and ask questions about the group, particularly if you're new to crochet. We'd love to meet you!

We hope you can join us!
