CTC stands for Corner to Corner? Wait, what?

Normally, CTC stands for Crochet Twin Cities, but this Saturday, September 14, it will also stand for corner-to-corner, as that will be our educational topic.  Barb will be teaching techniques for corner-to-corner crochet using a free pattern from Premier Yarns, click here to download a copy. We'll be meeting at the Highland Park Library in St. Paul, and as always the details are posted in our calendar and Facebook

I promised more about the State Fair entries. Since I covered the Ag-Hort-Bee entries, in a previous blog, I scoured the three of the Creative Activities results lists.  I have to admit it was daunting and amazing to see the number of classes in each category.  I apologize to anyone I missed (as I went through the pictures I had, I realized I must have missed some). Please let me know and I will make the correction.  OH! and I did not match the photos up with the results, just to make things more challenging.  The results:

While going through the lists, I noticed some categories (like baskets, misc), that might be appropriate for members to enter.  There were so many categories/classes, I think we need to have a session on all of the classes and categories at one of our spring meetings.  Of course, the 2025 board will be making those plans, so it's just a suggestion.  Hope to see you at a meeting or meet up, until then, may you always win at yarn chicken!  Theresa
