September 11th 2010
Knit and Pearl’s 4 year anniversary celebration is fast approaching and that means so is our annual "Stitches Contest". We would like to invite everyone that has knit, crochet or weaved something from yarn purchased at Knit & Pearl to bring in one item for our annual Stitches Contest. There will be prizes for first, second and third place and a little something for everyone that enters. You can drop off your item anytime with voting beginning on August 30th. Everyone can vote as often as they like but only once a day until September 10th, then on Saturday the 11th we will announce the winners at 4:00 during the celebration. The lucky three items will be on display in the front window for everyone to see during the following week.
More anniversary details to follow
Remember our couch is always open for you to come sit and knit /crochet.
