Hello Neighbors!
On March 7, a new exhibit "Get Looped: 150 Years of Women's History through Knits and Crochet" will open in the Historic Costume Gallery at Stephens College. We need your help to create a giant scarf that will be suspended from the ceiling of gallery. Come join us for an afternoon of knitting, crochet, and fellowship on Sunday, Feb. 15 from 3-5pm. If you don't know how to knit, we'll teach you. And don't worry if you can't make it to our fun-filled afternoon. You can still contribute by dropping off a knit or crochet sample at one of our designated drop-off locations. See below for details. I've also attached a copy of the flier we have been distributing to shops around Columbia. Thanks for your help, and I hope to see you there!
