Hello friends and fellow hookers

Another of my "Hookings" is taking place on Saturday, February 20th, 2010. It will be at my house at 23 William St, Carleton Place, from 10.00am- 3.00pm. I will provide coffee, tea and munchies, and if you like bring your own lunch.

If you have friends that would like to see what hooking is all about they also would be very welcome.


I will look forward to seeing all those who can come, even for a short time.

Great fun, Great food, Great People

A great time was had by the fourteen members of WCFG who attended the Potluck lunch Jan. 12th 2010 at the home of our president Roberta Murrant, who was as usual a wonderful hostess. The food was spectacular as always.
The scarf challenge was shown off, all attendees entered, and everyone won a prize for some part of the event. The entries were truly beautiful.
Next year's challenge was decided on and is to be leg warmers, made in any manner one might choose.
Much laughter and a general good time by all!
Thank you Roberta for hosting at short notice, due to Melodie having a worrisome eye infection, from which she is now recovering.
