Are you ready to add some spice to your knitting?  Do you think afghans are boring?  Well, prepare to change your mind!  For the next 24 months, we will be working our way through the Great American Afghan from Knitters (Ravel It).  To make the most of our monthly meetings, we will be announcing the square prior to the meeting to allow you to get started.  Then, bring your square and your questions to the club.

Since we are just getting started, the BOTM for September will be #25 by Nancy Bush.  You will need worsted weight yarn and needles to achieve a gauge of 5 stitches per inch (approx. a U.S. size 7).  If you have not yet done so, be sure to pick up your copy of The Great American Afghan-2007 Edition in the shop.  Our first meeting will be September 7th.  (We realize it is Labor Day, but had enough people who wanted to meet anyway.  We chose a fairly easy square for this month, so if you can’t make the first meeting, don’t panic.)

If you are interested in the knitted Block of the Month Club, please call the shop at 734-8800 and get on the club list.  This will allow us to keep track of all members for updates and announcements.  Remember, there is a $10 fee per month for clubs that you receive back as credit to spend in the shop that night.  We hope to see you there!
