Congrats to our very own Miss Beth for being one of only 16 sock warriors still alive in the 2007 Sock Wars. Knitters from around the world have been knitting socks as their weapons since October 12th and sending them to their targets. A warrior is "dead" when they receive a pair of socks. Miss Beth has outlasted hundreds of knitters and we wish her luck as the war nears the end!
Anne sends this info: Michaels is having its annual Warm Up America, Put Together Party on Saturday, November 17th from 4pm to 6pm.That's the Michaels at Arundel Mills. Anyone is welcome to come and join the fun. If you can't get there, then drop knitted and crocheted squares (actually 7"by9") rectangles at the store. There will be a bin or a basket to collect them. The more the merrier! The patterns are online on The Craft Yarn Coucil's Warm Up America website forboth knitters and crocheters.They are put together to help the poor and homeless this winter.
I wanted to forward the e-mail I recieved from 'Tangled Skein' today. Sounds like fun!
Our Friday the Thirteenth events have been wildly popular, and we’re often asked when the next one will take place. Unfortunately, the next time Friday falls on the thirteenth of the month is June 2008, and that’s just too long to wait.So we’re going to be doing a little . . . rearrangement of the calendar. On Friday, Nov. 9, we’re going to declare that the year is 1998, the last time there was a Friday the Thirteenth in November. Just think: Bill Clinton is president, the Backstreet Boys are wildly popular, Saving Private Ryan is the top-grossing film. What a year!There will be the usual Friday the Thirteenth features: great refreshments, an evening-long sit-and-knit, and, from 9 p.m. to midnight, a pre-holiday sale. Everything in the shop except classes and gift certificates will be 20 percent off.Join us this Friday, Nov. 9, when we go back to the twentieth century and party like it’s 1998.
