Group projects:
We now know that our group knitting pattern and project is going probably to relate to making the lovely across-the -body-bags that Carmen makes. This gives everyone a chance to learn to make the ever-functional Granny Square to use up extra yarn in a fantastic and usable way. Stay tuned for details!

Woobling: size 4.0 mm/g hook and worsted weight (4) yarn. Basic penguin or the basic chick pattern (free)
