KNOW Zoom Meeting – Flash your Stash!

At our next KNOW meeting, Flash Your Stash!  Send in 1-3 photos. We’ll put all your photos on a single PowerPoint slide – but without your name. We’ll have some fun trying to guess which slide belongs to which member.  If you get the most answers right, you will get bragging rights!  We will also hold our typical show and share of projects. Don’t be shy; proudly show off your stash, and know that, no matter how big, someone always has more yarn than you! Directions for submitting your photos will follow via email.

Knitter’s Night Out West meets from 6:30 pm – 8:30pm on the last Monday of each month (except in May and December). Please watch your email for a Zoom invitation around June 23rd.
