Give Fleece A Chance
That Yarn Guy writes on the Prospect Heights Message Board: “Cold enough fer ya? Warm up at the Knit-In at Freddy’s Bar this weekend. It’s the first Saturday of every month from 5:00 until 8:00 PM or when ever the band kicks us out.”
“This is the second winter for knitting at Freddy’s. The Knit In was featured in Knit.1 Magazine and also on The Jane Pauley Show. It’s not a craft class - it’s a friendly drink-optional depot for stitching, bitching and unwinding.”
“It’s never too late to make a hand-crafted gift for the Holidays like a pot holder or a hat. Or maybe a hat made from holders. So drop off your laundry, pick up some Chinese food, join us this Saturday and finish that scarf! Stick around for the Tom Waits tribute later that evening. Always on hand at the Knit-In are a swift, wool-winder, patterns books and spare needles. Crocheters are welcomed and men are encouraged.”
