Not much going on in the garden. The weather has been mild but I think the temperatures are finall going to start dropping to where they really should be this week. Thanksgiving was quiet and fun, it was great to have food on the table that grew in the vegi garden this year although rather amuzingly we ran out of eggs and I had to B U Y some AGHHHHH!!! The girls have been molting and also with the shorter days have been laying less so with all the baking before turkey day, I ran out!
My big news is my new 'baby'
The Great Rhody Yarn Crawl. I roped in my good friends Chrys and Bernadette to be equally as responsible.. um.. I mean help, and it has taken on a life of its own.
Slater Mill in pawtucket are on board as well as every yarn store in Rhode Island.
Stitch and Pitch are in as well as
Berroco and there are lots of other sponsors in the pipe line. I cant wait.
This is Chrys's description of the event.
What is a yarn crawl anyway?
A yarn crawl is an organized event that features your local yarn stores.
Organizers of a yarn crawl do all the work. We find the sponsorship for raffles and we contact the yarn stores to find out what stores will participating. We provide the structure that turns browsing at a yarn store into a fun event.
How do you participate?
There is not cost for participating in a yarn crawl. You visit the yarn stores participating in your area (during their businesss hours) on the dates we have scheduled the yarn crawl. That’s it!
Generally yarn stores will have special sales and promotions during this time. We are still in the planning process, but we fully expect to find sponsors to provide some items for a raffle at each location. For each store you visit, you will receive a raffle ticket for the store raffle and a raffle ticket for the BIG prize to be drawn at the Culmination Ceremony on April 17, 2011.
