Needles Spark as Cold Weather Descends

As the weather begins to cool, we start to realize the year is now winding down . . . and time to make holiday gifts is running short! Do you recognize any of these SnB participants in their Halloween finery?













New participant, KI (Beloit), found out our SnB gathering has FREE lessons so Paula has helped her learn to crochet while Judith has introduced her to spindle spinning. We also have a yarn ball winder, swift, and other tools that are available for use upon request to our stitchers to help them with their projects! Don't forget the books and DVD's on loan, too...

On Saturday, November 8, SnB participated at the Roosevelt Elementary School PTA Arts & Crafts Fair as our last sale venture in 2008. We plan on continuing to sell our FOs in 2009 at the Janesville Farmer's Market and other venues. Get those knitting and crochet needles busy during the winter months so you can join us for the fun and profit next year!

Please remember to write your FOs in our binder for the year-end tally. Last year our group completed over 600 projects and we hope we can top that number in 2008.

What Have You Missed?

Haven't been to an SnB gathering lately? You've missed some great fun...

In January we've heard Anne Walli from the Sexual Assault Recovery Recovery Program describe the program and how others might get involved. Call the 24 Hour Hotline: 866.666.4576 or the Rock County Main Office at 608.365.4097

We were presented a demonstration with information about acupuncture and oriental bodywork by Terrence Mason and Keva Bloom from Oriental Bodywork & Acupuncture Clinic . Both have had an extensive education and experience both in the US and China. They share techniques with us to alleviate and prevent repetative motion injuries and more. Contact them: 608.838.2452

The January Mystery Knit-Along is now completed and the 2nd KAL project will begin with the first "clues" at our gathering on January 31. The Mystery Crochet-Along is still in progress.

Start your needles and check your calendars for 2008 activities including the next Worldwide Knit in Public Day, the 2008 Farmer's Market, spring wool and alpaca shearing events, and even the next International Sox Wars!
