Participants are asked to bring their own needles and yarn. Lunch may be purchased for $5 or bring
a sack lunch and drinks will be provided. Door prizes will be given
throughout the day, and Big Stitch University will hold classes. The Boutique
will sell yarn, magazines, needles and hooksv for $1-$5 and original patterns
for 25¢.
For those
individuals who would like to learn to knit or crochet, there will be FREE
instruction available throughout the day. Instruction space is limited,
so reservations are recommended and can be made by emailing kandctn@gmail.com. For those who are
interested in furthering their skills, classes are available at Big Stitch
University. Reservations
