Happy Holidays!

A reminder to y'all that we won't be meeting on December 24 or December 31 - the library is closed those nights we meet. Please check your emails for details about alternate plans!

Now to the good stuff! It was a nice sized group this week:




Our Lynn had two scarves finished:






Jeanne had on a lovely new hat!
