A little while ago I was surfing around on the web and found a website for the Crochet Guild of Puget Sound ... and I thought to myself, "Self, you've never been a Guild member before!". Even better, the monthly meetings are held in a shopping centre only a couple of miles away so I didn't have an excuse not to go .

I got in touch with the website administrator, and I attended my first meeting tonight. Everyone loved my 'accent'! Tonight's meeting was a workshop, Justine demonstrated a quilted square made in four colours but all done in one piece - rather tricky, but it helps when you know the secret!

I brought my golf club covers and my tartan afghan along for 'show and tell' and as a way of introducing myself. Both items were well received, and a few tried to get me to demonstrate the tartan effect at a future workshop. I also volunteered to help out at a crochet demonstration and teaching session in Bothell next month ... should be interesting. I've only ever tried to teach Mum how to crochet, and the jury's still out on whether that was a success or not!
