| 2023 MN Yarn Shop Hop |
The Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop will be taking place April 11-14. Last year's hop was so much fun, that Crochet Twin Cities will be hopping together again on Friday & Saturday. If you missed it last year, you can read all about it in our blog archive Crochet Twin Cities: April 2023, We would love to have you join us for either or both days. Our route will be planned out to incorporate all of the shops over the course of 2 days, plus a stop for lunch (plan to bring or buy your own lunch). To ride along in Brenda's 14 passenger van, send an email to ctclist@gmail.com to reserve your space; plan to contribute $5.00 to help cover the cost of gas, to be collected on the day of the hop.
I've been wondering if members would be interested in forming a "hospitality" committee. The committee's role would be to create ways of celebrating and supporting members. One of our members gave me the perfect way to test out the idea. Sara is expecting a baby in July. I would like to ask all interested members to make a 4" x 4" (approx.) square in a dk weight (size 3) yarn and get it to me by the end of May. I will assemble the squares into a blanket for baby & mom. Be creative, make a square in your favorite color(s), team colors, use your favorite motif, or a new stitch or technique you want to learn. The only limit is your imagination (and a modicum of good taste)! If you have ideas, suggestions or questions, please let me know.
See you soon! Theresa
