Have you heard about the coral reef exhibit at The Smithsonian National Museum showcased from October 2010, to April 2011. One section of the exhibit will be a reef crocheted by local area crocheters and knitters. This is your chance to have something on exhibit at the Smithsonian! If you need help getting started, the crochet guild that meets in our classroom every month will be happy to help. They meet the 2nd Thursday of each month (June 10, July 8, Aug 12, Sept 9) from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. And if you need yarn that would be appropriate for the reef, be sure to check our sale room for some great bargains.
If you would like to learn more about the project, please visit, www.crochetcoralreef.org. In the meantime, check out our progress:
Several of our customers have started knitting pieces of the reef! Pretty soon we may have to expand off the table in our classroom. Please help us with the donations and have a chance to have your work displayed at the Smithsonian along with other great area crafters.
