PA Farm Show

Many of you are familiar with the annual Farm Show held every year in Harrisburg, Pa. It's quite a display of animals, cooking, fashion and food. There is a fashion show every year of hand sewn and hand knit or crocheted articles and garments. There is a sheep-to-shawl contest every year too. And the shawl is auctioned off for charity. Wonderful family entertainment and education.

And as we all know in this area, it's often the 'cause' of winter weather - sometimes measured by the feet instead of inches. Current forecast is for snow showers for Saturday - the start of the week-long event. Local folklore rumors that this event and snow are synonomous. Time will tell. All I know is, I won't be caught short without at least 2 projects ready to go 'cause i don't want to be stranded without something to do if tradition is correct!

Check out the new class schedule ad pick a project or two. Stop in and check out the new shipment of Eco Wool and Eco + from Cascade. We also got some new Magnum colors too. It's great for hats, scarves and mittens.

Anyone make a "mohawk" hat for gift-giving? I'll post mine shortly. Grandkids loved them which made me popular.
