This month’s topic is “Coiled Bowls.” Get an introduction to the world of yarn basket coiling with this $5 kit. This kit is ready to go for any crafter, even for someone at a beginner skill level.This type basket can be made in a single weekend. The finished project makes one complete basket which measures roughly 5 inches (12.7 cm) round and 3 inches (7.6 cm) tall.

We also have the coiling if you opt to choose your own colors for your bowl. Please bring 120 yards of acrylic yarn or Lily “Sugar and Cream” cotton yarn.
MOVIE NITE

Come join us each month on 3rd Sundays in Room 9 for movie night fun. It’s BYO dinner, watch, and discuss! In February we are watching Maleficient (PG).

“Maleficent is a 2014 American dark fantasy film directed by Robert Stromberg from a screenplay by Linda Woolverton, and starring Angelina Jolie as the titular character with Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manvillein supporting roles.

Loosely inspired by Charles Perrault’s original fairy tale and Walt Disney‘s 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty, the film portrays the story from the perspective of the eponymous antagonist, depicting her conflicted relationship with the princess and king of a corrupt kingdom.^[4]”

NEXT MONTHLY MEETING

The next 1st Sunday Monthly Meeting is Mar 4, 2018 at 12:30 PM in Room 1. This is a great way to get to know us and how we work. Guests welcome to attend.

Here we discuss how the past ritual went, plan for next ritual, classes, craft circles, and more. Lunch at a nearby restaurant follows for those wanting to enjoy fellowship after the meeting.
