Hello my Knitters and Crocheters!  I am swamped with school work and working on my Masters! I have been working on weekends also, but I continue to make sure that you can meet, talk, laugh, and share techniques together at the library.  Until I graduate, I will be missing some meetings,

but some of HKC's  members  who have been with me from the start will be "pinch hitting" for me and making sure you sign in and have a wonderful time! 

The Harlem Knitting Circle continues to meet at the Harlem Branch Library-9 West 124th St & 5th Avenue.  You must bring your own materials with you!  We also ask that you bring a food item to donate to the Snack Table so you can Knit and Crochet and be comfortable!  It's all about gathering together in knitting/crocheting harmoney!

CROCHET: AN EXPLORATION OF THE BASICS
Mondays, 6:30-9:30pm; 6 sessions Sep 21-Nov 2

An easy to learn and flexible art form, crochet lends itself to two-dimensional as well as multi-directional and more sculptural creations. Students learn the basics (chain, single, double, triple and how to increase/decrease) and very quickly advance to applying these skills to a variety of projects. Techniques covered include decorative and textural stitches and edgings, broomstick and hairpin lace and tapestry crochet, as well as crocheting with wire and beads.

CAN LISA REALLY TEACH THIS STUFF?
about dot com came to the Harlem Knitting Circle this past May (right around the time of the OperaKnit Cabaret at PS122). Here's a VIDEO snippet of me teaching http://video.about.com/knitting/English-Knit-Stitch.htm

Njoya is back from Africa with HKC's Fall'09 Schedule!

   My trip to see my Mother in Ghana, West Africa was motivating, exhausting, exasperating, and wonderful!  I loved seeing my Mother, who looks younger everytime I see her! She's building houses, runnning her own farm , and investing in Ghana, West Africa.  She looks younger then me! lol  I am so proud of her!  She has a 35acre farm, a house with a lake full of Taliapia fish, and when I was leaving she was in the process of building a house near the beach on prime land!  I am so proud of her! lol  She's investing on a global scale and that is not something we are taught in our community here.  Mommy..., you rock!  She has a house that she rents out, so for those interested and you don't want to stay in a hotel/motel let me know.  She wants everyone to visit!  It's a dream and wonderful!  My 21 year old niece also went on my trip and brought her friend.  They are both going through their "I'm 21 and grown and don't have to listen to you anymore" stage"!  That was drama we could have all done without.  I met the most handsome men from Ghana, London, and the United  Kingdom and was swept off my feet!  Oh..., you have to come to HKC for the details!(wink!)  I interviewed for various teaching positions..., something I usually do when I do to different cities/states/countries..., hey, you never know, and this time it paid off!  They showed interest so there is a strong possibility Njoya will be moving to Ghana in May'10! 

The Harlem Knitting Circle's Schedule for September & October:                             We meet only at the Harlem Branch Library-9 West 125th St & 5th Avenue.  You must bring your materials with you and we ask that you bring a donation of food to put on the Snack Table.  We will be meeting September 12-10am-12:30pm, Sept.19-10am-12pm, Sept. 26th-10am-1pm, October 3rd-10am-1pm, Oct. 17-10am-1pm, and Oct. 24th-10am -12pm.  November and December schedule will come later.  You can also check the schedule for any changes at 646-294-5828. 

Harlem Library Celebration and HKC Display a Success!

The wonderful fun filled, crowd celebration for the Harlem Branch Library was excellent!  Politicians, new media, and community organizations swelled the room!  Everyone "ooohed and ahhed" over knitted and crocheted items displayed by HKC member Milagros Baez, Brenda Harris, Addrienne Hill, Zina Malik, and Carrie Hawkes!  Thank you ladies for making HKC's participation a success!  Pictures are on their way so stay tuned!  I am heading to Ghana, West Africa to visit my Mother and will return August 26th.  Please say a prayer for me, because I hate flying! lol   I look forward to seeing you all when I return!  Knit/Crochet On!  Anntoinette Stacy Njoya Angrum-Founder & Director of The Harlem Knitting Circle
