Philadelphia Knit Out and Crochet 2006

The Philadelphia Knit Out and Crochet was held Saturday, September 10th this year.
It turned out to be a wonderful time. The event was free and everyone received a bag of goodies that included a very nice pair of bamboo knitting needle by Clover, a crochet hook, two balls of yarn, patterns and a magazine. Now, who doesn't like a goodie bag?

The event was very intimate and everyone you came across was friendly. They had a small side room where you could take free classes in knitting and crochet. Some of the classes where two stranded knitting, mitered knitting, Tunisian crochet and crochet embellishments. Yes, it was free! I only had to pay for my train ticket over and a pineapple martini at Maggiano's Little Italy.

I was told that there will be a Knit In at City Hall in December to benefit the homeless children in the city. If anyone knows the who, what and when, please let me know.
