Knitting Club :)

Hey YAs, did you know that I am starting a Knitting Club for teens and tweens at the library?  It will be the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7pm.  You can bring your own knitting stuff, or we have plenty of yarn and needles at the library that you can use!  You can come if you are an expert, a beginner, or even if you don't know how to knit at all!  We'll teach you how to knit! 

Did you know that more than 50 MILLION people in the USA knit?  Don't you want to be number 50,000,001?  Also, there are tons of great knitting books for teens out there to help you learn.  Here's a few~

Anyway, I'll have all these and more available during the Knitting Club meetings.  Our first meeting is Sept. 11th at 7.  Hope to see  you there.
