We have a nice size community room, that has 3 rocker/gliders and a couch...or you can sit at the tables. My residents would be thrilled to have "new faces" and to share ideas and their talents with. We all need to be needed, and this would just be a "win-win" situation for everyone...best part about it, you wouldn't have to clean your house before the "group" came over. Like I said in my earlier post, the only day we could not do it would be a Thursday.
Catt, I started crocheting again last year, when I was temporarily relocated waiting on my house. I can help you on some of the basic stitches if you ever need help.
I have a pattern for dishcloths that are really neat, too! Easy peasy to make.

Wow, that's awesome! Very nice!
I just talked to my mom and she said "I remember how to crochet."
Well, how about that!

All of you knitters/crocheters should join Ravelry. You'll have access to patterns, yarn reviews (and source lists so you know where to buy them), discussions, all sorts of things. And you can keep track of your projects with little notes as to the difficulty, any deviations you made, etc for future reference. It's a very helpful community.

I made this for my MIL. It took me about 3 years, but I would stop working on it every now and then ... Just leave it on the side waiting for me...
But I do love this project. I loved making it and I love how it looks. She uses it for special occasions.
This is absolutely fantastic. Could you PM Fancy Belle with the details since she is coordinating a location for us?
That's such a positive thing.I just talked to my mom and she said "I remember how to crochet."
I would put a hook in her hand and let her go at it.

That's such a positive thing.
She knows all of us and remembers some things, it's more her short term memory and the ability to coordinate things..like a meal, etc.

Then maybe you two can work on a project together? I think that would be really nice.

The best!
You beat me to it! I was just about to post that here about Ravelry.
I absolutely love that site!
Endless ideas, opinions, help, patterns ...
You have to request them to join and usually it takes a few days for them to get back to you, but just because there are so many people doing the same thing. Totally worth it.
If anybody's there, my screen name is the same as here, Aninha.

I joined Ravelry about a year ago and never really "learned" how to use it, so it seems so confusing. Maybe I should just quit avoiding it. My aunt is a great knitter, and she's on there all the time. She sells patterns and is a pattern tester and stuff.

I saw this on the community calendar if anyone is interested, especially those in the northern part. As a second thought, maybe you could contact the library in STM and ask if you could start your own group at their location. It's located in the central part of the county.

I have a hard time embracing technology for some of my hands on activites. I think it's fabulous for those that can, but for some of my stuff I really need to touch the yarn and fold the pattern and so on. I was looking through patterns on-line once and got frustrated and had to go back to my books and old magazines. Maybe it's a sensory overload of information.
That's a cool find for those in Charles who don't want to come to St Mary's.
Thanks.

I'm the same way with any instructions..I have to see what it is I'm working on and what I'm supposed to do.
