It's Hip to be Square

The group has been busily working on a Charity Challenge to create 7"x9" afghan squares. Our group member participants cast their votes on where they would like to see the group's squares donated.

Our charity donation winner is Warm Up! Akron ,which is a local group that creates and assembles blankets and afghans for local charities.

So far and counting our group has completed 36 squares!! Thank you to all of our group member participants! Keep those squares coming!! Our deadline for this charity challenge is on May 1st.

We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Warm Up! Akron for their upcoming 8th Anniversary on Tuesday, April 8th!

Way to Go!!

Inspiration






Tonight our Knit & Hook group attended the grand opening of the 34th Annual Needlework show at the Stow Munroe Falls Public Library. Such inspiring works of art ranging from quilts, cross stitch, crewel, sewing, knitting and crochet.

The show runs from now until Sunday. Our pictures do not do the craftsmanship justice. So much talent in one room. It is a must see in person! Be sure to vote for your favorites!
