“Welcoming of the Sweaters”
 
As the leaves turn and the air becomes crisp, it’s the perfect time to bring out your coziest knitwear and join friends by the warmth of a crackling fire. Whether you’ve attended before or this will be your first time, I promise an afternoon filled with laughter, creativity, and the joy of knitting together.

Our venue, with its charming stone fireplace and protective shelter, ensures that we can enjoy this event come rain or shine. So, no matter what the weather brings, we’ll be there to knit, chat, and make new memories.

If you’d like, bring along a snack to share, keeping in mind that our buzzing bee friends might also be eager to join us! And if the weather cooperates, we’ll be roasting hot dogs over the fire—a delicious way to embrace the cooler temperatures.

**Mark your calendars for October 27th** and prepare to spend a delightful afternoon in the company of fellow knitters, wrapped in the warmth of our shared passion for all things woolen.
