New show on Oxygen

 Friends,

  I received my CGOA newsletter in todays emails. They mention in the letter that Lily Chin is hosting a new show on knitting and crochet called Stitchcraft. It will be airing on the Oxygen channel starting on Sunday, March 5th, at 3 pm. Go and check it out. The more people who watch the show the more they will air! Go check out their site at www.oxygen.com and see if they have any more information about the show.

  I think its very exciting that we get our very own show about crochet thats suppose to be coming on Do It Yourself. Send them a email if you get a chance and ask when it will be airing. The more they know sho wants to see the programs the more we will see the shows. 

  Well Ive been busy making squares. Ive decided to design some of my own to see if I can do it or not. Wish me good trails! Ill take some pics when I finish some of my own squares. Ive been so encouraged by the emails that I have been getting from CGOA and CPList they all souind so up lifting about designing your own items so Im going to give it a shot.

  Have a great day!

Dana was working on the most beautiful baby afghan. Adrienne was working on her coin purse and dishcloths( we couldnt keep up with her she kept on changing before our eyes what she was working on) Angela was showing off her tattoo, I cant wait to see it in full color! And Angela was working on her brothers afghan. Sandra brought her knitting along(see we let you knit in our crochet group). I thought it real cute to show you my half eaten dinner. Sorry!
