Yup -- knitting is the new hot thing.  I've been doing it for about the past year and a half ... several friends have gotten scarves, and I've just finished my most complicated project to date, a knitted, stuffed bunny rabbit.

If anyone happens to see a flyer for one of these things, jot down the info for me, would you?

Here's what I'm thinking for Feb., if folks don't mind an open-source valentine making extravaganza sharing space with INW:

I can bring doilies, glue, 1 or 2 pairs of scissors, and some stamps and ink.  If interested parties (Diana, Thomas, -- who else wants to play?) could sign up to bring any or all of the following:

- red/white/pink/black construction paper
- crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc.
- ribbon
- chenille stems
- clip art?  (maybe some 50's stuff would be fun?)
- any other bits that might be interesting affixed to a valentine
- more scissors/glue, etc.

The new Michael's at Brian Creek (where 540 meets 70) is *much* more splendid than all the others, BTW.  Still not as good as a mom-n-pop place, but they do have an amazing array of goodies.

What do y'all think?
