KS My Stitch November Charity Workshop

I want to extend a very special THANK YOU to all who have contributed to our special charity scarf and sock challenge for Tree House. You make me very proud to be associated with such a giving group of crocheters and knitters. I feel the same way as Rosina, I get tears of joy in my eyes to know that all of you have risen to the challenge of making this special charity project work. Thank you Susie for welcoming us into your beautiful Cedar Acre home and allowing us to just sit and crochet for the love of crocheting something for someone else. And an extra special THANK YOU to Korey; Susie’s wonderful husband who helped me park my car and aired up my almost flat tire. I do appreciate it so much and so does my husband. So here are some highlights of our charity workshop last night.

Treehouse Project Update

Wow, there must have been at least 10 of us KS My Stitch members at Susie’s house tonight for the Charity Workshop. What fun! There was as much laughter as there was hookin’ going on.

And… are you ready for this? We now have 66 crocheted scarves for the project we have adopted this season. Wow! I am SOOOOO impressed with everyone who is participating in this. You are outdoing yourselves with the quality of your work and your generous donations of time, materials and talents. I get all teary-eyed to think of what you have accomplished in the short time since we learned of this goal. But I knew you could do it, never a doubt in my mind. Oh, and we have 58 pairs of ladies’ socks contributed so far! Only 19 scarves and 27 pairs of socks to go.

You are a wonderful group, and I am proud to be a part of it. Keep up your efforts, ladies, we are almost at the finish line.

And a special thanks goes to Susie and her husband for putting up with a houseful of noisy, giggly women this evening. Susie, you are a super hostess.

Treehouse Project

We are making good progress in our goal to provide 85 scarves and 85 pairs of socks for Treehouse by December 4. As you can see in the chart at right, we are almost halfway with the scarves!

Please keep those hooks hot, everyone. We can do this!!! Remember the Charity Workshop at Susie’s house this Monday evening at 6:30. Susie’s address is in the latest email, or you can email Tamara or Stephanie – their email addresses are listed on the right side of this page. See YOU there!

{Program} This month we will elect officers for 2011: our meeting will be rather quick as we are at the end of the year.. There is no “program” this month. We are working on scarves to be given as gifts to our charity, Tree House mom’s. You might want to start one now and finish it at the meeting. Tamara will be bringing some yarn for members to use for the gift scarves.

If there is a project you are working on, and would rather crochet on it than make a scarf, bring it and stitch away.
