Maura and I hope that you had as much fun as we did at our inaugural Handmade: Crafternoon last weekend! If you would like another chance to meet fellow crafty library-goers, see books and magazines from the Library’s collection, and try out new creative skills, please join us for our next Handmade: Crafternoon in October.

On Saturday, October 10th, Sabrina Gschwandtner, author of KnitKnit, and Teva Durham, author of Loop-d-Loop and Loop-d-Loop Crochet, will be our special guests, and they’ve promised to share some purls of wisdom and knitty-gritty yarns about their crafting experience. We’ll have some hooks, needles, and yarn at hand to share that day, if you want to learn the basics. And feel free to bring along your own wooly work-in-progress or a project that you plan to start. That way we can all knitalong together! And of course I’ll have stacks of old knitting and crochet magazines from the Library’s collections to share—think glamourous World War II styles, and Mad Men-esque dresses and sweaters too.

Here are the details:

Date and time:
Saturday, October 10th, from 2:00 to 4:00pm
