DIY knitting tools and last chance for a spot on the Shop Hop bus!

One spot left on the bus... join us for a great day of fun with your knitting friends! We were full, but there is one spot that has opened up on the bus due to a family illness. This Saturday beginning at 8:30 a.m. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? If you don't know what the shop hop is, here is a link to the flier for the event.
