Introductions
Discussion to promote ourselves, Justine showed Crochet Guild of Puget Sounds business card (being updated) to be distributed
to area yarn/fabric stores.
Reviewed and added several potential Program Topics/Activities for Future Meetings: Additions include beaded crochet, summer
crochet.
Morgan will contact Nancy Brown, National Guild President concerning reaching national members in this area to announce the
CrochetGuildSeattle. Preparing an article for the National newsletter was also discussed.
Consensus to select and elect a Guild Board was reached and this will be conducted during June 24th's meeting. A Program committee
will also be established to develop future programs.
Summer Crochet is the subject of June's meeting, and members will share and discuss their projects made for using or wearing
during Summer months. Members are asked to bring show-and-tell items for this topic.
For the program Which Yarn When? Morgan presented numerous yarns from which crocheters can choose and enjoy success with
greater quality results. The smaller, finer yarns were emphasized, as were some yarns with lycra, nylon, or other components
for special crochet. Yarns with sturdy cores, with low-pile surface, and the use of the 'right' hook for a given yarn were
explained.
