If you live anywhere near the Twin Cities, please join us at the 3rd Annual Knit Out this Sunday. Knit Out is sponsored by the Minnesota Knitters Guild.  It will take place at Brookdale Mall from 11 am to 3 pm.  This event is a lot of fun: hanging out with other knitters, knitting, talking about knitting, etc. People young and old can learn to knit and take their yarn and needles with them to keep practicing. We will have information about charitable knitting, yarn shops with displays, and lots of prize drawings.Â
One of the highlights is the Fastest Knitter Contest. I love the fashion shows, featuring the work of many local knitters. It is wonderful to see and hear about all their creations. My knitting group will be there acting as the Welcome Wagon.
I believe that Julie Roth is planning to be there for a book signing:
So I hope to see you there!

Thanks for your encouraging comment on my blog. Your Minnesota knit out sounds much more exciting than our Madison knitters’ guild event–where we sat outside in the rain at the Saturday Farmer’s Market and not may people paid aattention to us. There must be too many public knitters in Madison to cause people to take notice, and it wass hard to compete with all t he wonderful fall produce, flowers, bakery, etc., etc. Wish I could make it up to Minnesota to knit out with you.

I’m on a mission… I am having trouble finding the Great American Afghan
Book. Any suggestions? Is it still in publication?
I’ve decide that I have to attempt that simply beautiful afghan.
Did you both learn to knit as kids? Your talent is inspiring!

Knitout at Brookdale on Sunday? I’m feeling the need for a trip to the Cities.
