July's class on the crocodile stitch was a whole lot of fun! Not only did Barb do an excellent job as our instructor but we had a new member join us.   It was also Gloria's birthday; and she brough homemade cupcakes to share with us. Yummy! Barb's handout is very thorough for those who missed the class, of course you can always bring your questions to Rosedale Center on Saturday, July 27th.

Even with the cupcakes, the highlight of the day were the door prizes.  Andrew donated TWO of his 3-D printed custom winding stations. Brenda and Gloria were the lucky winners!  

Looking ahead, we've planned out the next several month. Our August meeting will be focusing on making name tags and small projects for State Fair give aways or acts of crochet kindness.   

September we'll be setting up 3 stations and you'll be able to choose between topics - Joy's going to demonstrate a variety of cords, Theresa will show you how to make and use plarn (plastic yarn made from plastic bags), and Carla will be teaching at a third station.  You can try all three or find your favorite. 

October's meeting will be a corner-to-corner class by Barb. We'll also be voting for 2025's officers.  Please get your nominations in by 9/15!   The officer positions are President (open), Vice President (Brenda), Treasurer (Carla), Secretary (open) and Education Chair (open), the Education Chair position may be held by co-chair.  If you want more details about the responsibilities of each role, please an email to ctclist@gmail.com

November is an "official" member's only meeting and our much-loved destash event. December & January classes will be decided upon soon, Gloria is reaching out to Moogly and Margaret Huber for December, and we're reaching out to Edie for January's class).  Classes with contract-instructors are also reserved for members only.  

May your yarn never tangle, your hook stay in sight and your patterns easy-to-read! Theresa
