For those of you interested in the Texas Crochet Meet-up in San Angelo, They have added a special guest speaker on Friday afternoon at 4; a professor from the wool and mohair lab.
Sounds interesting.
I'm seriously considering attending the meet-up because I feel its important the Westside be represented.
If you can't make it, please support Sheryl's effort to get a Houston meet-up coordinated in January. She could probably use help in organizing, scheduling, ideas, contacts, etc. I will be putting this on the agenda for the September meeting. I think its a lovely idea and I'd love to see Westside spearhead this and show that even though we are a casual, non-conformist group-we can "Git 'er Done"!
Also on the agenda will be:
Charity crochet
Moving forward-where do we want to go
Holidays?

Other news:
Sheryl has agreed to share with us her review of Kim Werker's newest book. This book looks lovely. I got to thumb through it last Thursday and I know MY opinion; can't wait for her review. For those who don't know Sheryl (yeah, there might be some), she is a multi-published crochet and tunisian designer, Master Crocheter, and CGOA Professional Crocheter. Her insight will be invaluable.
We have another member, Jessica, who has plans to take on the challenge to get her Master Crocheter designation and her crochet instructor designation (the same in knitting, but we won't talk about that-hee,hee)-lets all remember to encourage and support her.
If anyone else has their certs, or is planning on getting it, or is working on it, please share with the group-we want to expose-er-support you.
If you haven't signed up yet, check out Yarntopia.net. Our LYS has completely revamped their blog and has exciting things planned for the fall and winter. Lets show them some crochet love!
Peace out, Y'all!
