World Wide Crochet & Knit in Public Day

Join us June 11 10am-2pm at the Shoreline Library for:
World Wide Crochet & Knit in public day!!


Bring your yarn craft projects, any snacks or beverages you would like .

The Library is located at 345 NE 175th St, Shoreline.

If there weather is good we may enjoy the sun from the library benches and other outfdoor seating areas. If not maybe we'll hang in the library or in the meeting room.

It is also Internation Yarn Bombing day so we will be decorating one of the trees outside, so if you have some things that would fit around the trunk or branches you might want to bring that. I'll try and get some measurements on here later.

Maran Illustrated Knitting and Crocheting (Maran Illustrated) Maran Illustrated Knitting and Crocheting by maranGraphics Development Group


My review


rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is a great book if you're learning to knit or want to stretch your wings on knitting, before each knitting project it teaches you the skills you'll need to do the project. The crochet section is small (57 pages out of 297 pages) almost to the point of why did they bother. It has great pictures. If you're a crochet beginner use this book, but if you're not their are only 2 projects, and some really basic stitches.

Project Log unfinished item

PROJECT NAME: Knit what I damn well want to scarf.
YARN: TLC Eden Green
NEEDLE SIZE: 10.5
MADE IN Sep 2008
GENERAL NOTES: I bought these lovely wooden needles at the Knit and Crochet Show in Portland . They are 10.5 and not very long, but just right. They feel very nice. I couldn't wait to use them so I broke out the free skein of yarn I got at the show for the Coats and Clarks Ladie who were teaching knitting and crochet and just started going, first I did a bit of a basket weave, then some stockinette stitch and making shapes out of it, some ribbing... maybe I should see if I remember how to do a cable.
