NEXT WEEKEND - THE BIG EVENT
March 10, 2023 - The Woolwrights met today with the chance of a couple of snowflakes falling and a little rain, but mostly just a gray day. We finalized our plans for The Woolwrights Annual Spring Hook-In and we are looking forward to seeing all our friends that we have made over the years. We had a variety of rugs shared today with wide cuts, torn cuts, and fine cuts, an Amish rug, chicks, rugs from a few years ago, and a sample of what a great grandmother can do with a sweet child in just a few moments! There must be something in the genes! What fun it is to get together and have some laughs and good conversation with our friends.
THE HENS ARE COMING TO ROOST......

FEBRUARY 10, 2023
February 10, 2023 - What an absolutely beautiful winter day of 55 degrees, it was!! We have had hardly any signs of a snowflake this year and daffodils are springing up all over our yards. The Woolwrights had a great meeting today with friends coming for the day, some we have not seen in a long time! It's wonderful to see our sister hookers once again. We have all missed each other.
Today's meeting included several different things: First of all, there was another hook-in planning committee meeting for the upcoming Woolwrights Annual Spring Hook-In!!! Things are coming together and we are really excited about all we have to look forward to. We have all missed seeing our friends from near and far here in Lancaster. Do not forget that the cut-off day for registering is March 1, 2023. We would love to see you there!!! For more info and registration, look at "Save the Date" here on our website.
Cindy Irwin, our friend and teacher, did a small workshop for our members teaching the art of needle felting on beautiful wool bags to carry your necessary items for hooking. The bags were beautiful and the designs were really pretty! Photos follow below.
And.... the third thing I think you will enjoy seeing are a few of our chicken rugs from the "Frolicking Flock" challenge for the hook-in. Several Woolwrights members were working on their hens today, some are waiting at home, and some have not even hatched yet. The word is that there have been many patterns requested for the challenge. But.... we hope you enjoy seeing a few of our hens and thanks again to Michelle Palmer for giving The Woolwrights the privilege of using her patterns for the challenge. To see more of Michele's patterns, etc., follow her on Etsy, Facebook, or Instagram.
