Meetings
Want to learn how to hand-hook an heirloom? Already know how to hook?
Come pull loops with us at our monthly meetings or at drop-in hook-ins!
Our monthly get togethers are held at the Pleasantview Community Hall (10860 – 57 Avenue NW). We meet on the first Thursday of each month from September to June. Guests and visitors are welcome. Doors open at 9:30am with a short business meeting starting at 10:30am followed by a show and tell of recent projects. Often there is also an educational event or demonstration. See the Calendar for proposed education/demos. The remainder of the time, until 3:00pm, allows the members to shop for wool and other hooking needs, check out library books, use the guild cutter, to learn or collaborate with other members. There is a help table for those who need assistance getting started, or who have concerns about their current projects.
