Knit In Update

The officers met last night to try to organize the upcoming Knit In. Donations will be solicited from various yarn companies. Circles of Learning, which were well received last year, will be returning.

The Knit-In this year will be held on October 25th in the community room at Stacy's Furniture. We're also going to try to set up a PayPal account for the Guild so we can accept electronic payment for the Knit-In this year.
