Hi,
Julie Tardos showed a blanket made from this pattern at the April 14 Knitzvah meeting. Several people asked for the pattern so the link to the free version on Ravelry is below.
There is also a pdf of the pattern in the Files folder for people who do not use Ravelry.

Square and Ripple Blanket pattern by Sara Palacios I was inspired by an old towel.

I am looking for a couple of “yarn mavens” to maintain our yarn bins- duties include staying after meetings to sort new donations into our bins, and to clean any organize the yarn bins. Let me know if you are interested.

With sadness we offer condolences to our member Fern Herman on the loss of her husband Allen. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

With Gratitude,
Lynn Ann
