THANK YOU FOR A SUCCESSFUL KiP!

I wanted to update here and thank everyone that came out last weekend for the Astoria Park KiP. We had a blast! It was a little hot by the river, but a good 20 people from all over NYC and Long Island came.

The Show 'n' Tell was very interesting. Projects included crocheted socks with an afterthought heel, and a needlepointed original design started back in the 70s. The ladies from The City Quilter who joined us for the beginning and this event, I hope you enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed you!



Tamar and Leslie talk yarn.

Rosemary's class was a great success, and several people from ACK & SACK started working on recycled bag bags during the event. (Including me!)



Jenny watches Rosemary teach us how to make plactic bags into yarn.

In fact, a member of the crochet guild stopped by and Rosemary's pattern will be published in their newsletter very soon.



Watching intently to learn.

I hosted the Quiz, with questions designed by me and Rosemary, on Astoria, Knitting and Crochet. Rosemary judged it for us and Danielle and Leslie were team captains vying for 4 bags of yarn & other goodies. With all our questions completed, WE WERE TIED. Oh noes! After a quick conference between Rosemary and I a new tiebraker was created. The winners? Leslie's Team!

In between these fun events, we sat under our tree and crafted. It was a fun time, but as the thunder started and the rain sprinkled, we called the day at 4pm. We look forward to this event next year!

I will updating this post with pictures as I receive them from attendees, and maybe even from the Ridgewood Legder! (There will be an article in it this Thursday with photos.) If you attended and want to add your photos to our collection, please send them to astoria.kip (at) gmail (dot) com.
