Hooks & Needles - New Craft Group
 
I'm trying to form a new craft group for both beginners and anyone else who wants to share their knowledge of crocheting, knitting, cross stitch, needlepoint, etc - hence the name Hooks & Needles.

The group appears in the survey for this week and will next week as well. If you are interested in learning or sharing, please let me know and I will add you to the growing list of folks who want to play. I'm hoping to have this group located south of 466A and meet on Tuesday mornings.

Don't be shy if you are a beginner as everyone starts somewhere. If you're more skilled, perhaps you would be willing to help pass on your knowledge. Please let me know if you are interested.

thanks - Diane

Diane, I saw the survey in rec news. I have an infrequent guest who crochets the greatest afghans and scarves...I'm sure she'd like to visit your club when she comes here. I'm not a hooker, but I love the name!

Your offer is exactly what I'm looking for. Sharing knowledge is what it's all about.

Would love to be part of your new group. I've been knitting since high school and always have several projects going. I've done everything from sweaters to socks.

Coconuts 03-26-2014 06:52 AM

I would be happy to find a newly forming craft group to join. Please keep me in mind when the group starts. It would be great if you could let me know as I sometimes miss things in the paper. There's SO MUCH to look through!

K.C.Boyd 03-26-2014 07:52 AM

I would like to join your group if there is still room, am a basic knitter and would be fun to learn more. Thanks, Kathy

Happy Snowbird 03-26-2014 08:47 AM

I may be interested depending on the time. I am a snowbird Oct thru April.

K.C.Boyd 03-26-2014 09:18 AM

Thought I had already posted a reply but still would like to join your group. Am a basic knitter. Thanks Kathy

kittygilchrist 03-26-2014 11:20 AM

Diane, I'm interested in knowing how the group develops....keep me in the loop. Not sure how motivated I am, but it could be a useful hobby.

marianne237 03-26-2014 12:06 PM

Diane, if you accept beginner crochet, I'd be interested. Really would like to learn.

LuAnn B 03-26-2014 12:19 PM

Love to have you come play. I'll keep you on my list and let you know the outcome.

Brencpa 03-26-2014 05:11 PM

I have lots of counted cross stitch kits to do up. I would be interested if anyone else is into cross stitch. I also am only here November-April though. I live South of 466A so if can get there easily by golf cart and not on a Tuesday I would be interested.

SMills 03-26-2014 05:37 PM

Diane - I am in the process of selling my home and moving to TV. I have been doing needlework I think for about as long as I have been alive. You name it, I have probably done it, hucking, crochet, knitting, macramé, embroidery I love being creative with my hands. I know I will be buying south of 466A and would love to bring my knitting stash and join your group. I'll keep an eye out for your meetings and join in as soon as possible. I am so happy you are getting this group together, it was one of my top priorities. Good luck, it looks like you are getting a good response

Counted Cross Stitch is awesome and certainly fits into "Hooks & Needles". I do plan for us to meet at a Rec Center south of 466A but which one is subject to availability. I am, however, probably going to have us meet on Tuesday mornings but, again, that is subject to availability.

You sound like me - tried just about all creative endeavors. I am planning on us meeting south of 466A and yes, please do bring your stash. I had to pack mine to move as well - LOL. I will let you know where and when which is subject to availability.

KathieI 03-26-2014 06:43 PM

Hi, count me in. I've dabbled in knitting and crocheting for years, never quite mastered it. I have been doing needlepoint for many years, but alas, never complete a project.

I'd like to join in also, but can't promise my availability until after my house sell in Hadley. I don't care what day of the week the meet is or where it is, but not tooooo early??? Pleaseee!!

Thanks for organizing this,,, sounds like a great plan.

scrapple 03-26-2014 08:09 PM

I'd love to be a part of this as well, but would have to be in the evening...any chance of that?

mimisw 03-26-2014 08:37 PM

Beginner here and would love to be part of your group. Please count me in after May 8th.
