Hearth & Home Wk 9

A special thank you goes to Linda L. for taking the class notes and photos this week.

Linda demonstrated one of the cast ons, and oven mitts was the main project.

Next week we will begin on the wire basket, wire napkin rings, or wire bracelet using metal needles and wire. The supply list is on last week's blog.

Presidential Challenge
More Cascade 220 is being ordered for the presidents and should be here in a week or two. Sandy won last week's trivia. This week's trivia is something like: Which president secretly had surgery on a ship at sea so a financial crisis would not start in the US?


Leftover Yarn
Linda asked us what we should do with the left over finger puppet yarn from last season's challenge.

Reminders
The Salvation Army is still collecting mittens, gloves, and hand warmers for the homeless.
Sandy is still collecting comfort dolls for missionaries in Africa.
The date for the new session is Jan. 5.

Stitches West
Linda is accepting sign ups and checks for this fun trip. The cost is $45, and the check will not be cashed until Feb. Anyone outside of class may sign up starting Jan.

Christmas Party
Dec. 8 is the last class for the Fall session and our Christmas party. There will be a gift exchange, potluck, and a knitting game. We will need to bring size 8 needles and yarn for the game.

Operation Christmas Gift
This is a special gift basket that we are preparing for Jake, the nice custodian at ARC. A sign up sheet was passed around so we will not duplicate the gifts. Bring the gift wrapped, and Debi will bring a basket for us to put them in.

Happy Birthday November knitters!
