New Olympic Event announced Knitting

Did you have any doubt we’d participate in this? We will be having an Opening Ceremony Kick off at Knitique Friday, August 8th 5-9pm. We will be having a Potluck, so if you are able bring something to share. Be sure to join us for what will be a fun filled 17 days of Monogamy, love, and crazy fast knitting. We’ve got a ton of people planning on the
February Lady Sweater, using Dream in Color Classy (another shipment will hit the store either today or tomorrow) So come join the fun, stretch yourself, and see what you can really accomplish in 17 days. Once you've finished your original garmet, additional tickets will be given for any other project you finish with yarn purchased here at Knitique. So now's the time to go through your projects and finish up all the WIP's. Be sure to sign up for WIP's Wrestling.
