SPRING SEASON PROJECTS!

This Friday we begin our new project, chemo caps for members of Gilda's Club New York City! Our goal is 50 hats by the end of the season in June.

We're making two hats, both easy and created in the round (a new skill!). Both yarns are beautiful to work with and will create breathable, comfortable fabric for these hats. The knitted Skinny Striped Hat pattern from Blue Sky Alpacas uses their Skinny Cotton. The crocheted Roll Brim Hat pattern from Lion Brand uses their spectacular new Cotton Bamboo from the LB Collection.

You can find Ina's Tips for Success on our website as a downloadable PDF, http://www.artsworldfinancialcenter.com/ and click on Events Calendar. We'll include them in each kit and bring copies to the Brown Bag Socials.

YOU NEED TO BRING . . .

CROCHETERS . . . F or G hook

KNITTERS . . . 16" circular needle size US
5 or 6

We've included a link (see left) to the Jimmy Bean Wool on-line store for tools at discounted prices!

See you this Friday from 12-2pm in the Winter Garden!

GREAT SUCCESS!

While I was in sunny LA I heard that last Friday's Brown Bag Social was a great success and Ina was busy, busy, busy!

Thanks to everyone who dropped off a finished scarf and picked up another kit.

Welcome to all new members, we hope to see you next month!
