Meeting this Friday, July 20

Brookfield presents WFC IN THE LOOP Full-Year Charity Partnership with Habitat for Humanity - New York City Friday, July 20, 2012 12 - 2pm World Financial Center Courtyard, next to Starbucks

This month, we'll sew in labels to our completed projects and continue working on afghans for the living room. Please bring ALL completed projects this week so that we can begin to assemble the kits.

Remember, each afghan piece (1 piece per kit; 4 kits per finished blanket) will be due Friday, August 17th. At that meeting, we'll combine all the sections together to make complete projects to include in the distribution kits for the families at the new St. John's Residences, which we'll give out at our September meeting!

Patterns & Materials

There are no new projects this month, but this is the time for completing any incomplete projects and finishing complete projects with customized labels!

Ina will bring all the items we need - labels, needles, thread, as well as some expert advice for how to secure the labels to the projects so that they are not in the way and do not fall off!

Recipient Charity

July and August Activities

The dog days of summer are upon us, so we will be taking advantage of the cool interior of the World Financial Center to do our upcoming on-site projects.

Join us in July to sew in labels to all of the incredible projects we have created thus far in 2012 - almost TWO HUNDRED different projects to donate to the deserving families who have moved into their new homes in Ocean Hill - Brownsville, Brooklyn!

You should also continue to work on your afghan projects. The knitting project kits have all been taken, but we have a number of crocheting kits remaining for those of you who are speedy crocheters and still want to take something home to work on before our August 17th meeting.

As a reminder, ALL afghan kits are DUE at the beginning of our August 17th meeting, when we will sew up the pieces into complete blankets as part of our presentation to the Habitat for Humanity families.

Remember: if you are stuck, please contact Ina at 201.910.0027 or via e-mail. The only successful project is a completed project!

Friday, June 15: Afghans, continued

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow as we continue working on our afghans. Come with finished panels and/or questions. Final projects will be due no later than August 17th, when we will patch them all together to create finished blankets for the Habitat families!

Notes from Ina

• There are still a number of kits from January through March that need to be made and returned. We hope to have your continued enthusiastic support to finish those up so we can confidently move on to the new projects on the list. Ashley will be calling those unreturned projects to collect all outstanding projects. Please bring yours this Friday!
• It is already April and we are moving along to new projects.
• We have a granny square crochet bath mat and a knitted doily bath mat. Lovely oversized pattern and altogether a quick project each!
• The crochet bath mat uses three skeins of the Lion Brand Cotton Ease with nary any leftovers. We will double up the yarn.
• You need a size J (6.0 mm crochet hook). I will check closely that we get the desired gauge and feel. I will have a finished sample on hand.
• The knitted doily bath mat is worked with a triple strand and a size 15 (10.0 mm) needle. You can use a 24” circular needle but we will work in rows! There will be a finished sample on hand.
• The yarn amount for the knitted bath mat is leaving us quite a bit of leftovers. We will use those for the next round of projects, so please bring your leftover yarn in May.
• I will work closely with you to make sure things “look” and turn out right.
• You know that I can be reached via email if questions arise: tantesophie@me.com or on my mobile # 1.201.910.0027
