One More Row Meeting

In Uncategorized on September 3, 2013 at 9:05 am

One More Row, the Osterhout Free Library’s knit and crochet group, ended summer fiber crafting on August 24. Christine M. was crocheting a block for the Warm Up America! afghan that the group will be assembling in October. Christine was also sweet enough to bring candy to share. Joan, a new face at OMR, was getting the hang of ruffled scarf knitting using a novelty ruffle yarn. Gemma was trying out stitches for an afghan block. Helen C. and Josephine C. were finishing knit/crochet catnip toys to be donated to the SPCA of Luzerne County.

The library’s Alissa Lukasavage finalized the schedule for the remainder of 2013. Events include a learn-to session in September, the Warm Up America! afghan joining party in October, and a potluck in December. Copies of the schedule were sent to those on the mailing list.

OMR meets again Saturday, September 14, at 10:30 a.m. in the Reading Room. New faces are always welcome!!!!
