Knit-In

It is taking me longer than planned to put together the panels for the “lapghans.” As usual, there are too many other obligations… We will continue to provide a space for those who want to get together with their yarn projects, get a little help or some encouragement, or maybe just have a chat while you are working. Alice is working on another baby afghan, Peggy is making more chemo hats and I am still on the same granny afghan.

This month the Friends of the Library will be guests of the Pember Board. After meeting together, each group will have a separate meeting.

Book Club

The Pember Book Club will be reading Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls. Join us for a discussion about a book listed as “true life novel.” The subject of the book is the author’s maternal grandmother. Walls set out to tell the story of this grandmother as a biography but found that she needed to fill in too many places for it to be really nonfiction.

Knit-in

Three will be donated to the Haynes House and the fourth will be raffled off at the library. We plan to work on ‘chemo hats’ next with some patterns available at the library.
