GUILD MEETING
September 8, 7 p.m. (hybrid meeting) Sarah Keller Help! My Stash is Smothering Me!

In the process, you will learn to let go of the stress of having too much yarn and be ready to cast on new projects that utilize that stash. Sarah has been the owner of Knot Another Hat in Hood River since 2005 and has been teaching knitting for twenty years. She is also a designer of knitting patterns, which she publishes through Knot Another Hat. |
