Njoya presents-"The Harlem Knitting Circle"

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

It was so exciting!  The members shared what they knew and their poise was great! 

I've got to get a knitted or crocheted dress!  Anyone with a pattern for an ankle length dress for a hip heavy, 6ft, hourglass shaped woman give me a quick call!  Next time..., I'm going to be decked out in textures!  Hope you enjoy the video!

My hat was crocheted by HKC member Milagros Baez!  She walked in wearing it, I love hats and immediately fell in love with it, grabbed my pin off my coat, and stuck it on my head! She bestowed it to me with the kindness that is Milagros..., and it's lined inside! Thank you Millie! If you're interested in purchasing a similar hat you can email me at HKC125thSt@aol.com and I'll connect you with Milagros. Oh! And you should see the lined baby buntings she crochets...., BEAUTIFUL..., EXQUISITE!
