Knitty City has been invited to be a part of the celebration at:
Wool Uncovered
September 27, Thursday, 2012

Bryant Park  9am – 6pm

We're so excited!  The Campaign for Wool rang us up last week and asked us to join in and knit  in Bryant Park when they hold their big Celebration for British Wool event on Thursday, September 27.  They plan on having at least 30 sheep there to illustrate what makes wool so fabulous.  Please plan on coming by - we'd love to see you and the sheep would love it, too. 

Talking About Flocks (of Support)

Once again, Knitty City will be participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, Sunday,  October 21st.  Please consider joining our group, as we join the thousands of others who walk every year in Central Park, to demonstrate commitment to breast cancer prevention and research.  We are also looking for team leaders.  We would love to have you be a part of our annual effort.  Let's all walk together.  For more information, please go here:   makingstrides.acsevents.org

Whew!  We're exhausted, but excited.  The NYC Yarn Crawl Weekend is over and it was a good one!  (Congratulations to this year's winner of the Raffle Basket:  Alexis Dustinoff.   We saw lots of friends and lots of new faces, as well.  We're thrilled but, frankly, a little tired - yet happy.  Why?  Well, it's Fall in New York, and New York is particularly special in the Fall.  The parks are filled, the weather is downright balmy and people's thoughts turn to making warm and cozy things for the upcoming holidays.
