IHCPL #66 Crafts and Hobbies

In the past I crocheted many place mats and three or four small Easter baskets. I currently have an unfinished crocheted baby afghan in my crochet bag. I completed one before my first grandchild, started the second one but never finished it. My second grandchild is now 3 years old, so I'm somewhat behind schedule.

Given the choice of making a prayer shawl, chemo hat or lap blanket I would probably opt for the chemo hat and hope it does not take as long or as the afghan.

Our branch does not currently have an adult knitting group. The children’s department is currently teaching a class and many mothers attended to learn with their children. We hope to start a knitting class in the fall which we hope will evolve into an ongoing program. We are also discussing having quarterly joint sessions with the children’s department inviting special speakers and other events.
