Good Morning Everyone!  Happy Saturday! ☕🧶🌄

Update on today's Coffee & Crochet Meetup,  We are moving the Crochet Iron Crafter game to Wednesday, May 29th.  I can tell that people needed just a little more time to finish up their projects.  I only received one email with pictures for the game and that was a pretty big indicator that most of you are needing just a little more time to wrap up your projects.  

NO WORRIES!!!  Let's let today be all about finishing wips, show & tell, and hanging out. 

But definitely mark your calendar for Wednesday's meeting!  You don't want to miss it!  Some of the projects I've received a sneak peak at are INSPIRED! 🤩

Our next Square for the 2024 Sampler Blanket CAL is the Arrow Square. 

This pattern is so special because the pattern is so pronounced.  The POP is extra defined. 

In this pattern I took the opportunity to insert extra learning opportunities by including how to make an extra straight side with the yarn over trick.  It looks a little funky in the pattern but watching the demonstration will help a lot!

Let me know what you think!
