Crochet GTG Poll
For those who were interested in wanting to do a crochet GTG I would be available to do this either any time on a Friday or Saturday. Is that something that would work for most of you ladies? If so, we can try and figure out a date that is good for the majority of you.
Also, I live in Howell and am more than willing to have all of you ladied to my house for this event, but I know it would be a drive for some of you. If anyone can think of a more central location where we could hold a GTG like this I would be open to suggestions.

Re: Crochet GTG Poll
Friday would work for me as long as it was after 5:30 (or if it didn't matter if I came late) any time on Saturday would work. I don't mind driving to Howell, but could we do it somewhere like a Panera or Starbucks or something and take over a section of the seating area? I"m not sure how many of us there would be. Other than next week and Sept 16, any Friday or Saturday really would work for me if I have some notice.
I am not much help because as everyone tells me I can't decide on anything, but Friday nights after work would work, and so would Saturdays, as long as I had enough time to get a babysitter..
Could we meet up at like Panara or Starbucks? Maybe in the Novi area. I wouldn't mind driving out to Howell but only on a Saturday, my grandparents used to live out there and it's been almost 10 years since I have been there. It would be nice to look around again. Do they still do the Melon festival? (I think that is what it was called)
Melon Festival was this past weekend. I really like living out here, because they do a lot of community activities. In June they have the Michigan Balloon Challege (a big hot air balloon festival). When the last Harry Potter book came out they had a big Harry Potter party down town and turned it into Diagon Alley/Hogsmead, renaming all the streets and having the wand shop and what not.
I wouldnt mind doing it at the Panera in Novi. Maybe on a Saturday in the early afternoon, say 1 or 2. We could meet and have a late lunch then do some crocheting. Would they mind if we took over a section of their place do you think? I know they have that bigger table that seats 8.
When we meet with our wedding photographer, we met her there and took over that bigger table and she had brought several work samples and what not. Then she had another client there right after us and they didnt seem to mind that we were meeting there and not eating.
Panera in Novi would work for me too on a Saturday afternoon. I don't think they'd mind if we took over an area. I've seen study groups do it, and I've been there for other meetings with groups and stuff. I think it would be ok.
thanks Jennicic - supplies was going to be my next question - are we all picking our own projects/materials/etc - or is there a specific project/pattern we all are going to be working on and we just bring our own yarn and needles as required? not sure what's easier for you to teach?
Lol. Good point. I suppose I was trusting all you ladies who end up saying you will come once we pick a date to actually come! Hehe.
What would you ladies be interested in learning to make for a first project? I believe Ill be teaching most of you from scratch (no experience), so I think it is best to start with something easy, like a simple scarf or washcloth/pot holder or even an easy baby blanket.
For you ladies who have some experience but what to learn more advance stuff, Im more then willing to offer you help if there are some projects you want to make but need asistance with, you could bring those.
I agree maybe just tell us what we need. At some point I tried to teach myself with a "how to for dummies book" so I think I may have some needles at home but who knows if I will ever find them!
