I am sorry I missed Charity Knitting Friday July 6. I was on vacation. Last Friday July 13 was great.
Several folks who did not know about our store came by to see what was going on. Some took yarn back to their seats to knit.
We also met knitters that were on vacation in Mercer visiting family and came to the concert . They were happy to see our store and folks knitting. I feel that hosting Charity Knitting during the band concerts has been a good thing. Everyone that comes seams to enjoy the evening. Next week is the beginning of out Victorian Week End Festival. I expect more knitters will come once that they discover us. Below I have posted the general information I sent.
Friday Charity Knit and Crochet.
On Friday when there is a concerts at the bandstand in the park across the street from our store.
We will sit at an Umbrella table on the sidewalk in front of our store and listen to the music while we knit. If you love to knit as I do and enjoy knitting small projects out of your scraps between your more serious knits consider joining us for charity knitting at Otter Creek.. If you are involved knitting for a charity bring whatever you are knitting and join us. Please bring a lawn chair if you have one.
We all need not be knitting for the same project.
Some of the knitters from our Monday Knitting Group are knitting baby blankets for Navy Relief with Ellen Oehlbeck. I am collecting Caps for Kids and will be taking the caps to Knitters Fantasy. I spoke with someone from the Mercer County Red Cross and found out that they always need afghans for disaster relief. I down loaded some patterns from Warm Up America for us to we use for knit squares for afghans. If you are at the concert but did not bring any yarn etc with you. We have yarn, needles and hooks you can use to begin a square if just wants to stop by and join us for a little while.
If you want to learn to knit or crochet we can teach you during the concert.
