Our First Project

Caitlin and I have already done a lot of work on our senior project. We got the club approved by Mrs. Verleger and made posters to advertise it in school.
Knitting and Crocheting Club is going well, we have had three meetings so far and are collecting our first project.  Even though not many people have brought in projects for donation yet, everyone is having a lot of fun. Today was the best probably because we had a good amount of peolpe and everyone was really engaged in their projects. We had a knitting circle and a crocheting circle, and I was working with someone on their very first project.
Our first donations is supposed to be a collection of baby booties, hats, and blankets for newborns through Angels of Love Charity, but I am waiting on conformation from the organization before sending out the projects. Hopefully that will happen soon.

Piles of Yarn

Before our first meeting, we had to get donations for supplies. Caitlin got on freecycle and found someone in the area with a lot of spare yarn and needles. We spent the afternoon on Saturday sorting through all of the yarn. It was really fun and we lined it all up by color after sorting it by weight. I was really glad that we got a lot of donations because then we didn't have to worry about buying yarn and there was quite a selection. We also didn't have to by any needles, but I had to pick up a few hooks before the meeting.
