Did you know that your clothes are still coming from weaving looms at the industrial level? Did weaving really start the industrial revolution?

Weave; November 7: Spin to Knit. 10:00 – 4:00 each day. $60.00 for each class.
Charity Knitting/Donation Station: In August we received our first hat for HeadStart!! Knitters have been coming in for the free
patterns, so I know that knitting is happening for Head Start! The children are 3 and 4 years old. We will give the hats to the local
Head Start program in early December. For the Felted Bags, we are working with the Opportunity Council’s Dorothy Place – they
auction off the bags every year at their November fundraiser. Knitters have been coming in for yarns – the bags will be displayed soon.
So, come in, get your free patterns, and knit a hat or two for a local 3 or 4 year old child! Our goal is 330 hats – and I know YOU can
do it!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Watch for something special from our shop, as customer Sheri and I will be doing
something to help raise awareness for this important issue.
January 31: Closed for Inventory Day.
