2008 has been a busy and incredibly FUN year for us.
We started a few Knit Alongs, two of which highlighted Elizabeth Zimmermann’s classic pieces, the Pi Shawl and Baby Surprise Jacket (BSJ). We also gathered to knit afghans using Barbara Walker’s Learn to Knit Afghan.
We partnered with Nurses for Newborns Foundation to promote our Knit for Newborns Program to knit warm items for Missouri children and families. A big THANKYOU for all your donations! A Spinning Group also met once a month to spin beautiful fiber into yarn.
