You heard it here first…oh wait…no, second!
From the Threadbear Fiber Arts mailing list:
Mom & Me Tea Party — Shannon Okey, author of the two Knitgrrl books, has planned a shop visit for the afternoon on Saturday, May 13th, in support of both of her great books. We’ll have model garments from both as well as the opportunity to “meet and greet” the author herself! In conjunction with this, we’re doing a “Mom & Me Tea Party”, where parents/children can share their love of knitting at a weekend event tied to the Mother’s Day weekend. If you’re not familiar with the Knitgrrl series, they’re knitting how-to and pattern books aimed at the teen and pre-teen set. We’ll have plenty of both books on hand that day, so plan an afternoon out!
I’ll be there as soon as I can (probably after 2:00 — Jillian and I are presenting at the Ann Arbor Book Festival between noon and 1:00, and I have to hop in the car to get up to Lansing), and staying ’til close, so come on out and say hello! Try on Amy Singer’s “Sproingy” capelet from Knitgrrl 2, it’s perfect for spring!
Ooh. Such fun!
