**************************
It is going to be a wonderful community event and I'm looking forward to the movie screening of Home Across Lands. It will be a great opportunity to meet some of the new members of our Vermont community and learn about their experiences.
Still wondering how you can get involved as a knitter in a community project like this one? We have blanket squares left from this project, as there weren't enough to make another twin sized blanket. We are looking for interested volunteers to help us piece together smaller blankets for the Lund Family Center to give to new mothers and their children. We really need your help for this one folks, so stop in, learn how to seam, and then take a few squares home to finish and keep you warm on a chilly evening. Hey don't we all need an excuse to stop by the shop one more time to fondle the yarn?! THANKS.

So glad to see how this has all unfolded. Wish I could be there to see the film and attend the event but it's a bit far.....I'm from Barrie, Ontario, Canada. But just wanted to congratulate Kaleidoscope Yarns for co-ordinating this event AND pass kudos on to fellow knitters. See what we can do when we each do a little bit - or not so little bit on the part of some knitters......Woohoo!!!
Can't wait to see the pictures! I can't even imagine how lovely the blankets are. And they will be so appreciated I'm sure. Big job putting all the squares together. Thank you gals for that!
