East Bay CoC

March 2, 2009 – 7:55 pm

Here’s the info for March’s East Bay CoC meeting:

This month we’ll be holding Sunday School from 12-1pm to learn how to crochet granny squares, then we’ll simply craft on till 5pm. Please remember that you don’t have to participate in the Sunday School to show up at 12. It’s open house style: come and go as you like. Bring whatever project(s) you are working on and join your fellow crafters. Snacks are welcome.

Crochet Granny Squares
Learn how to crochet granny squares…and circles. These building blocks can be used to make scarves, sweaters, afghans, purses, you name it. Once you know the basic form, the design of the squares can be altered to create endlessly new patterns. Bring yarn and a hook if you have them. Also, some of both will be on hand. Beginning knowledge of crochet is helpful or a strong desire to learn the basics and use them right away!

Sunday, March 15th, 12-5pm (always the 3rd Sunday)

San Francisco CoC Craft-up!

February 3, 2009 – 3:00 pm

We’re proud to announce we have another CoC craft-up happening in San Francisco!

Fellow crafter, Myla, has a great community room in her complex with tables, chairs & big windows that look out to the tree lined courtyard. Better yet, it’s conveniently located on Geary Ave, between Webster and Laguna St (across from Japantown).

Sunday, February 8th, 12-5pm

(View Google map)

All CoC meetings are open house style: come and go as you like. Snacks & refreshments are welcome. Keep in mind this Sunday would be a good day to make something for a sweetie, since Valentine’s Day is coming up!

DIRECTION DETAILS for this Sunday’s SF CoC

Lottie Bennett Lane is an open sidewalk into the St. Francis Square apartment complex off the south side of Geary Blvd. between Webster St. and Laguna St across from Japantown. If you’re taking Muni, the 38 Geary stops at Webster st. and at Laguna St. Street parking is free and unrestricted on Sunday. DO NOT park in the apartment complex parking lots. There is no guest parking.

Walk down Lottie Bennett Lane from Geary and look for the last doorway on your right.  Look for the open door into a community room right inside a garden patio. We’ll mark the community room with balloons and signs on Geary St. and at 10 Lottie Bennett Lane with signs for “CoC Meeting.”

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment on this post. Or contact Willo, the SF CoC Coordinator directly, by calling 415-505-5507 or emailing her here.
