Thursday SNB is Relocating!

The original Thursday evening Janesville Area Stitch 'n Bitch is MOVING!
Join us on Thursday,
March 26 at MOCHA MOMENT
to thank Steve for being an incredible host these past few years and then . . .
BEGINNING THURSDAY, APRIL 2
find our gatherings at
BASICS
1711 Lodge Drive, Janesville
(Across from Toys R Us - old Hancock Fabrics building)
NEW TIME: 6-8pm
The decision to permanently move the Thursday gathering was arrived at by a vote of current participants and predicated upon our growing needs for a space with better lighting, quieter (for conversation and speakers), table space, public visibility, accessibility, and more.

Please note the Monday and Saturday groups will
remain at their original locations.

To Market, To Market....one stitch at a time

SnB stitchers will be able to sell their FOs at the Janesville Farmer's Market again on Saturday, July 19 from 8-Noon. Remember the market is relocated to the top of Courthouse Hill in the parking ramp behind the courthouse. Those who sell items will share the cost of our 2 spaces but others are invited to just join us for stitching. FREE lessons and trouble-shooting always available. Weather permitting as usual.

WWKIP Day June 14, 2008 At Janesville Farmer's Market

Crowds coming to downtown Janesville to see the flooding Rock River brought many first-time Farmer's Market visitors on June 14 who were able to enjoy the SnB Worldwide Knit in Public Celebration as we did "performance knitting" on 5-foot tall needles with rope! Knitters of all ages tried their hands at king-size needles to join in the fun.








While the water of the Rock River was climbing onto Main Street during the market, Rachel Hunter won our drawing for 2 skeins of yarn while Paul Holz won our spring contest of "Oddest Yarn Project".




SnB "regular" Julie (Thursday SnB) had fun trying to deal with larger needles while Patty (Monday SnB) also kept the knit fabric growing.
