<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>Not strictly SCA, but knitting dates to pre-1600
and I know a lot of SCA people in the Metroplex knit or crochet and are probably
not a members of the many groups and guilds participating in this event, so I
hope the list owners let this go through. Consider it a PSA.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>The annual Knit Out and Crochet Too! event for
the DFW area is this coming Saturday, October 2nd, from 10:00am to 6:00pm.
It will be held at the Half Price Books on Northwest Highway, just east of
Central, in Dallas. There is NO charge to attend, and NO charge for any of
the classes, help, handouts, etc. We have teachers for beginners and
on more advanced topics in both knitting and crocheting. We have door
prizes from LYS and others. We have regular classes and on-going "help
me!" corners. We will be collecting items to donate to charities supported
by the LYS such as Parkland Hospital and the NYFD Scarves Project, and yarn for
the Tarrant County Women's Prison project.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>So far, both crocheting guilds and a majority of
the knitting guilds and mixed-creativity groups in the Metroplex are actively
participating (except the one co-running the knitting demo at the Celtic
Heritage Festival the following weekend), and we expect members from all the
groups to attend at some point. It's a great way to meet others, learn
about new yarn shops (did you know that we have fourteen in the greater
Metroplex and surroundings?), and get in some very productive hooking and
needling. This is the biggest event yet for the Metroplex since the year
we had to hold it in two LYS since one could no longer handle the crowds.
We have people from Tyler, Waco, Bedford, and Denton saying they will
attend.</FONT></DIV>

element is to have fun!</FONT></DIV>
