POSTPONED PROGRAMS  
                                                                                                                               


TATTING Program Postponed Until a later time: Nancy will teach us how crochet can be made to look like tatting. (THIS IS
                  NOT Cro-tatting but Nancy's own invention).
Materials:  Bring smooth thread/yarn and appropriate sized hook. It's traditionally done in Thread but Yarn will work.

Program: Cynthia's Flowers - Cynthia will bring some patterns and talk about the anatomy of a flower .30-45 min program
Materials: Bring small amounts of Flower and Leaf colors in any texture weight yarn  or thread
                   (the lighter the yarn/thread, the smaller the flower. The more texture, the harder to see your stitches).
                    If you're new to making flowers, a light color and smooth worsted or sports weight would be the easiest.
                     Bring a range of hooks (example E thru G would work well with Sports/ Sock weight,
                    G thru I would work well with worsted)
