Stash Management
Have you ever really looked at your stash? I know some of you are good, organized knitters who only buy the yarn you need, when you need it, then use it all up or use most of it, and then knit something for charity with the remainder. However, I am going out on a limb here to say that if you are one of these knitters, you are probably in the minority. Most of us have a stash. Some of us are quite proud of that stash. Some of us think it's a contest that we plan on winning. But I digress. . . .
Creative Vendors Are Invited to Craft Sale
The Apple Valley American Legion Auxiliary is inviting any and all Knitters' Guild members to rent a table and sell crafted or baked goods at the Craft and Bake Sale on Saturday, Oct. 23.
Renting a table for the day is $30.
For further information, contact Lorraine Schaus at 612-669-1095 or lola31668 at gmail dot com.
Get the most out of your love of knitting! Membership benefits include pre-registration for Yarnover, a subscription to our quarterly Cable Gram, organized public service projects and camaraderie with fellow knitters. Annual dues are $30.
