This is a reminder
that the February meeting of The Youngstown Area Weavers Guild will be
held at the Lacemaker's Shop in Cortland on Wednesday, the 24th at 10
am.
The Lacemaker Should you get lost, call Tracy at 330-637-0057
134 N. High Street Liz at 330-261-0554
Cortland, OH
Travel north on Rt. 11
Exit at Rt. 305, turn left toward Cortland
Turn right at the light at Rt. 46 and continue on Rt. 46.
Stay right as Rt. 46 goes slightly left and you will stay right and
proceed onto Rt. 5. (this is now High Street) Just remember to stay
right at this intersection.
There is a Rite Aid and a Speedway gas station. It is kind of an "x"
intersection instead of a cross.
Stay on Rt. 5 (High Street) through Cortland. You will pass a Sparkle
Market on the right. Rt. 5 will go to the left at a fork in the road.
Around the bend will be Main Street. Go through the light. There will
be two buildings on the right. Turn right into the parking lot after
them. The Lacemaker
is in a little plaza there. If you come to houses on the right, you
have gone too far.
After going to Tracy's last Wednesday, I have added to the directions
that I previously gave to you. Nancy and I thought that it was a bit
chilly, so wear a sweater or sweatshirt (as we did not) or at least
layer in case it is warmer.
I checked with Tracy about the wool that I am bringing and she thought
that it was great, so don't go out and buy some. She has lots of
needles ($8) bone and wood, but if you have a #13 tapestry needle,
bring it.
Remember to bring your own mug, so that we will not have to use hers.
We will start the program at 10 am.
Hope the weather holds out, Liz
