WELCOME TO LAST KNITTER STANDING!!!

If you like to knit, play games, and have fun you've come to the right place.

Please join the Janesville Area Stitch 'n Bitch on Saturday, October 29 from 10am to noon at Basics Natural Co-op, 1711 Lodge Drive, Janesville to challenge your skills with others while playing "Last Knitter Standing".

The object of the game is to be the knitter with the most knitted rows at the end of the game through a series of trivia questions and knitting challenges. Last Knitter Standing will not only make you laugh, learn, and test your knitting knowledge, but will also tap into your competitive spirit.

You can register as an individual player or as a team. Players are encouraged to bring their own knitting needles and yarn. The knitter with the most knitted rows at the end of the game will be declared the “Last Knitter Standing.” For more info, call 608-752-9248 or visit us at Janesville Area Stitch 'n Bitch on Facebook.
