Some Key STITCHES South 2010 links

These were mentioned last night at the AKG meeting, but here they are so you can find them. Be sure you are already logged on to Ravelry before clicking.

There is a generic, "I'll be at STITCHES South 2010."

There is also the Ravelry Party on Thursday night 8-10:30 in ballrooms 3 & 4. This is just after the Market Preview.

And there is the Pajama Party in the Renaissance Waverly lobby on Friday night after the Fashion Show and dinner. Contests for Wackiest Pajamas and Coolest Handmade Slippers.

To indicate that you are attending, click the large square "I am attending" button towards the upper right side of the screen. If you are already logged as attending, there will instead be a bright Ravelry rose-colored button that says "I am attending." You can also check your status by choosing "Groups & Events" from the "My Notebook" menu. Then choose the "event calendar" tab in the upper right. If you are signed up, they will appear in your personal event calendar list.

See you all there in just two more weeks! Rolling in alpaca glee!

April Meeting rescheduled to April 8

Just a reminder that the April meeting will be on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Easter falls at the beginning of April this year, so St. Patrick's is using our regular meeting space during Holy Week and can't rent it out to us on the 1st. We'll see everyone on April 8th! The program is titled "The Best Knitting Superstar Class I Ever Took!" We should get to hear some tricks and tips. And this may help you make last minute decisions about those STITCHES South classes.

Needle Nook Ovarian Cancer Fundraiser

Needle Nook is holding their third annual sidewalk sale to help support Ovarian Cancer research. There will be tables set up outside with crafters and vendors selling their wares. You could find some great gifts for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, birthdays and anniversaries, and maybe something special for yourself. A portion of each sale will be donated to Ovarian Cycle. There will be a bake sale, and a raffle with a hand-knit shawl and a Knit Witch yarn bowl. Raffle tickets are on sale now.

See you there.

Saturday April 10, 2 - 6 pm

STITCHES South Early Bird Deadline Extended

In getting ready for STITCHES West 2010, the folks at XRX forgot to put out a reminder for the January 11 deadline for Early Bird registration for STITCHES South 2010. To make up for the oversight, they have extended the deadline to Monday February 1, 2010, two weeks from today So if you haven't had a chance to register yet, there is still time to save on all the classes and events.
