Care2Knit's annual benefit

Anyone care to attend Care2Knit's annual benefit? Friday, April 11, 2008 from 7:30 to 11:30 at The Woodlands in Westbury -- dinner, raffles, door prizes. Maybe we could get a UU Ewes table together!

Socks work in progress

Thought you would like to see the finished sock. So cool and comfey!!!!! I am going to work on my square before I start the next sock.

Private Classes

Many of the local yarn stores will offer special classes if we can get a group of 4-5 knitters together. Let me know if there is a particular class you are interested in taking (i.e. Magic Loop, socks, intarsia, etc.) and I can see if we can get something together.

Right now several of us have arranged an Intro to Lace class at Knitters Therapy in Northport on Saturday, 3/29 from 4-5pm ($30). Let me know if you are interested in joining us!

Pattern Corrections

Digibabe
www.digibabeknits.blogspot.com

One error in a pattern can ruin the knitting experience. Digibabe, a knitting blogger, has compiled a substantial collection of links to errata in books and magazines. In addition, many publishers have corrections available on their web sites in PDF format. If time permits, print out the errata and insert it into the offending book! (Thanks, Sue DeM!)

EWE ALL are invited to my Services Auction brunch!

As you all know, I sponsored another knitting brunch for the 2007 Services Auction. It will be held on Sunday, January 13th at 1pm at my place and all you UU Ewes are cordially invited to attend. The bid price was $15 and I'll again do a gourmet brunch and light the fire, etc. We will have several guys there this time (UU Rams? doesn't work quite as well) and it would be wonderful to have you there too! Please RSVP to me. Thanks! Maria

Mission accomplished!!!!!

Stocking completed!!!!!

Phew!!!!! I'm pretty proud of this one.

If I do not see you all before Christmas, please have a peaceful holiday. By the way, check out Rev. Sinkfords 2007 pastoral message. It is outstanding. Visit the UUA website or YouTube (search Sinkford pastoral).
