Portland, Maine designer Elizabeth Smith published a new free pattern on Saturday, Liz cast on for a shop sample on Sunday, and had it knit up by Monday. Talk about nearly instant gratification!
Liz made the long cowl using two skeins of Malabrigo Rasta, but the pattern can also be made as a short cowl with one skein, making it perfect for last minute holiday gift giving!
Don't forget to pick up your free passport at any participating downtown business. Shop or dine in five of them and get your passport stamped. Then turn in your passport as a raffle ticket for the 70 gift certificates from downtown business that will be raffled off! It's really that easy!
You have until December 18 to participate.
The November Knit-a-thon broke records with attendees! It was so much fun with lots of knitting, crocheting, chat and laughter. The impromptu fashion show at 5 PM showcased the attendees amazing talent and abilities.
The fundraiser brought in $1,768 which will be shared between two of our local agencies that assist people with heating their homes: Waldo CAP Fuel Fund and the Waldo County Woodshed.
