THE STOUFFVILLE MARCH MEETING

Well here we are in Stouffville, with a very large group and lots of stuff to donate. As you can see from all our meeting for the winter, we were very busy.

We are almost at the end of the Afghan drive and I must say that we turned out some really neat Afghans. And now we are busy with the baby blanket drive that is going well too!!

If you have not join us on line or at our meetings, don't be shy, we need you to help us with our goal for 2000 items to be donated this year.

We donate blanket to Project Linus three times a year. Since we have been donating to Project Linus North York in the past and we are now we have a contact for York Region, I would like to keep both Chapter to donate our preemie blankets to. So we definitely need your help. If you cannot make it to the meeting and would like to participate, you can contact me at my email address on the web site. We will arrange for pick up or you can drop off at one of our drop off points. Don't forget to label our package for casting off the cold and your name and address.

Now here you will see some of the great stuff the members donated.

This baby blanket was crocheted by Pat,

This Pooh blanket Pat crocheted and she mention at the last meeting that it took her two months to finish it. It is amazing!!! She did such a great job with it I hope mine turns out as good as hers.

This blanket will be up for a raffle soon.

These are some very warm hats from Madge.

And here is Margaret showing the two beautiful ripple blankets,

and some hat and scarf sets.

Jane is working on a hat for this scarf, so you will see them both next time.

My first diagonal blanket and if I may, I think it turned out pretty good.

Using up your left over yarn you don't know what to do with it, try knitting/crocheting hats and scarves with them. You will be amaze what designs you will turn up with. These hat Monica used up her ends. I love them.

Another Afghan from Monica, this one is in Christmas colours. You may think a little early but why not use the heaver yarn and colours on those cold winter months. Any ways it looks great Monica!
