From the President

Summer is here and we have had a taste of some warm weather in June. This is the time of year to experiment with lightweight yarn such as cotton, linen, silk, and bamboo. These yarns are easy to carry for small projects. There are many events this summer that will allow you to crochet and still enjoy the activities. Visit some of these websites to see what is occurring during the summer:

1. “From June through September, Lower Manhattan comes alive with nearly 500 events- most of which are Free.” www.RiverToRiverNYC.com
