[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Sending out patterns for our group rectangles project

[Jeanette Kutash]

Good afternoon,

 

First, I apologize for not getting these out earlier. A personal situation
kept me away from my computer.

 

As we stated in the meeting, we are working on a group afghan project to be
raffled off at convention; we are using rectangles 7 inches wide by 9 inches
long which will be put together by our own Jill Rossiter. 

 

All rectangles must be to her by March 15, 2020. Jill will provide her
mailing information at a later date.

 

Colors: earth tones in blue, green, tan, brown, cream and beige. No pure
white please. No dark blues or dark greens, please. 

 

Yarn: Acrylic worsted weight which will give you anywhere from 17 to 20
stitches for 4 inches and usually 6 rows per inch. No wool blends or
straight woll, please.

 

Please do not put more than one color in each square, as the different
designs in patterns and colors may make the project too busy and
distracting.

 

For those of you who are knitting, I have put together 7 patterns to get you
started, but if you have one you would like to choose, feel free.

 

I am happy to communicate with any knitters who decide to do this project.
You may contact me directly at 

Kutash-jm at comcast.net

Or by phone at 

617-335-8966.

If I do not answer the phone and it goes to voicemail, please leave your
name, and speak your number slowly and I will return your call.

 

If there are people who wish to crochet, they should contact Tammy, our
President, and she will talk with you about patterns and how to proceed. 

She can be reached at

Ms.sunflower61 at gmail.com

Or by phone at 402-904-5105.

 

If you have any questions for me or Tammy, please feel free to contact us.

 

The pattern stitches are below my signature.
