This knit-in is your bag.

I sent out an e-newsletter last week (hope you got it - if you didn't, e-mail me so I can add you to the list) and I mentioned our next knit-in. It's scheduled for next Friday, June 22, 6pm-midnight. We're making this one later because Sarah C. asked for it. "I'm a scrapbooker," she said. "We're used to all-nighter crops!" So in that spirit, and the later nights of summer, we're burning the midnight oil.

That means we have enough time to finish a complete project! And since we're promoting the Prism trunk show all through June, we decided to offer an optional Prism project. This little Opa! bag was designed by Gina using Prism yarns she already had in her formidable Prism stash:

You can get one, maybe even two, of these bags out of one half-skein of Prism "Stuff." They make great gifts and the bag is a nice introduction to knitting in the round. Plus, you should be able to get most, if not all of the bag done during the knit-in! If you buy some Prism to make the bag, the knit-in is free. Otherwise it's $5 to cover "refreshments" - oh what the heck, this is a blog so I can go ahead and say WINE AND BEER plus munchies. Not sure what the munchies will be. I'd like to say I'll whip up some fabulous family recipe but it'll probably be whatever looks good at Lambrusco'Z that day.

My cooking is sorta like my knitting. I always have such grand plans for this or that, but then we end up at Mazzio's and my closet fills up with partially finished projects. Ugh.

Anyway, if you want to come to the knit-in, call, come by the store or e-mail and let us know you'll be there, so we can get plenty of WINE AND BEER. Did I mention WINE AND BEER? ;-)
