July 8 Meeting Preview: Amagurumi

This month's education will be a workshop on Amigurumi.

You have seen examples of this from some of our group during show and tell. Maybe you looked and thought, "No, that's too hard! It takes too long." Well, come and learn what it is all about and give it a try - you'll get "hooked" to be sure.

Gloria will be sharing a bit of information on the term Amigurumi and showing some examples of her work.  We will be creating a crocheted crochet hook. Yes, you read that right! This character is Gloria's own design.

The meeting will be held Saturday, July 8th, 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 please bring:

• Worsted weight yarn,
• E/3.5mm hook
• Contrast yarn or stitch markers

Gloria will bring a big bag of stuffing (enough for everyone to use).

CTC at the Hennepin County Fair

Once again, CTC could be found at the Hennepin County Fair.  Julie, Carla, Alana, Joy and Judith were outside the Creative Activities tent to demonstrate finger crochet.

There were not a lot of visitors this year, but it was a nice day to crochet in the open air.  Any reason for a meet-up is a good one.  Inside the tent were some beautiful crocheted items and several CTC ribbon winners.

4th Saturday meetup: June 24th, Bruegger's

This month's meetup
Saturday, June 24th from 9:00 AM to Noon
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!
