Howdy!

Announcing our next gathering ~ Tuesday 6th September ~ RASPBERRY RIPPLE night!

Yes... as some of the participants from our gathering earlier this month may well have heard me talk of... we're going for a themed night next gathering - a broad theme, that everyone can interpret however they so wish. I can offer a couple of possible interpretations of our Raspberry Ripple theme:

1. Crochet Ripple'ing - I shall bring a pattern, or maybe I may even do a worksheet - yes I shall. It would be great if a couple of participants, who may already know the delights of rippling can raise a hand and volunteer to be called 'teach' for the night, otherwise we'll just muddle along, giving it a good ol' rippling go. If you're new to crochet I'm sure there will be someone who will be able to start you off in the right direction - for crochet supplies I would suggest bringing along a 4.5 or 5mm crochet hook and some 8 ply (or double ply - they're the same thing) wool, in colour of your choice, though if you're going all out raspberry ripple stylee then go for something raspberrylike.

2. Raspberry coloured - craft project of your choice, in a raspberry inspired colour. Here's some suggestions of colours that might be considered of a raspberry hue - raspberry, blush, red, pinky, pinkish / redish, berry, cerise, ruby.

3. Sounds - BYO project of any kind / any colour - bring something that is not in a shade of raspberry and you can just blow raspberry's at opportune moments during the evening

4. Eats - Madame Brussels do nice cup cakes - there is definitely one with pink icing, maybe it is raspberry flavoured, so you could eat one of those

I do have a few other ideas for themed nights, so will unleash them as time goes by, but do let me know if you have any thoughts / suggestions / ideas / pleas / wants / hidden desires.

Will be lovely to see you

Dont forget to RSVP in the comments below, with your name ~ and hands up anyone who would like to be a 'teach' for the night, there can never be too many 'teach's' so go for it with the hands up.
