Shell Wk 12

It was the last class of the Fall session. Linda's sister, Nola, was here to teach a wool applique class, and the ladies reveal their project for the Challenge.

First, Linda and Nola received good news. The publishers approved their idea of writing a new book on crochet rugs. Linda is looking for volunteers to help crochet the rugs. Please contact her if you would like to participate.

Second, the winter session begins on January 9. It is a shorter session of 8 weeks. The theme is Games and Toys. One of the projects is a backgammon game board that detaches from a purse.

Third, a big thank  you to Linda L. for taking the class notes and photos this week.

The Christmas party was really nice. Sorry, that's all the details I got about it.

Next week, December 12, is the last class for the year. Nola will have a special wool applique class, and Linda will have an ornament pattern and little Christmas tree pattern for anyone not taking Nola's class. Also, the Skiff challenge is due!

Here are the Show and Tell photos. A big Thank You to Linda L, who sent me the photos.

I apologize for not updating the blog last week. I could not get into the blog because my computer did not have an updated driver. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Here is the latest message from Linda regarding the classes in December. 

 

"Dear Knotty Knitters,

 

Our Christmas party is this week. Don't forget to bring a wrapped gift for the exchange if you wish to participate, and your food for the potluck.  Does anyone have a table cloth to put on the food table?

 

December 12 is the last class, and I will have an ornament pattern and little Christmas tree pattern for anyone not taking Nola's class. I will pass them out the night of the Christmas party. 

 

See you Thursday. Linda"
