What a Year for Crochet! 2009 brought us the Most Beautiful Designs from Scarves to Clothing, New Stitches, and the Most Wonderful Yarns and Fibers one could image!
Lois and I went to the CGOA 2009 conference, where we met Andrea. It was exciting for both as it was their first conference.
Well, what happened next????
We founded the CCGLI and in September became an official CGOA Chapter!
Since September as a group we have done quite a bit of Charity work, 77 scarves and hats for the 60/60 Challenge. The Chapter wants to thank the following ladies for their involvement and hard work; Lois, Regina, Melissa, Joan and Andrea who not only took part in the CCGLI Chapter challenge but she donated to the HHC Chapter Challenge as well. As a Chapter we also Assisted at Stitches East teaching Crocheting & Knitting, Now that was FUN!!. Can we go again next Year??? Pleasssee...
IF you think this was exciting wait till you Hear...
