KNOW Mtg – Show us your favorites!
Everyone has that favorite project, pattern, yarn, or notion. This is something that is not one of your current show and share items(unless it is one of your favorites). Maybe it’s yarn that been in your stash for years, a project that you have always loved, or a notion that you can’t live without. Please bring yours to our November meeting for a mega show and share. Be prepared to tell us why it is your favorite – Is it super cozy or squishy?, Was it super challenging? It is a quick knit that is great for gift-giving? Maybe it holds some sentimental meaning.
