If you're in the Seacoast of New Hampshire (USA) during the first week of February, there are two yarn-y events you might enjoy!
First, from Main Street Art in Newfields, NH:
Knit for a cause! Please join us at Main Street Art as we knit warm hats and mittens for the residents of New Horizons, a homeless shelter, soup kitchen and food pantry located in Manchester, New Hampshire.
When: Tuesday, February 7TH from 8AM -8PM
Where: Main Street Art
75 Main Street, Newfields, New Hampshire, USA
What: Patterns and yarn will be provided. (Optional-Bring your own yarn stash to share or trade.)
Bring: Your own knitting needles and nimble fingers! (Size 7 needles or whatever you like with worsted weight yarn)
On any given day in New Hampshire, there are 2,248 people who are homeless. -NH Coalition to End Homelessness
I plan to be there for part of the afternoon and hopefully evening. I have no idea if I can knit a hat in a day, but I'll try!!!! Let me know if you plan to be there too!!
Another local event of interest to knitters and weavers:
Fuzz Fest on Feb. 4 in Exeter, NH
I'll try to pop in there too!!! Last year there was some local angora yarn that was so gorgeous. It's still tempting me!!
