Sponsor: Knit-a-Gogo

We are super excited that some shops and friends in the DC knitting community were willing to help us defray some of our costs! We'll be posting about all of them in the next couple weeks, so stop back again! First up is Knit-a-Gogo!



Hi all!

I am Danielle Romanetti of Knit-a-Gogo. A couple of years ago I launched this funky little knit business to better provide knitting instruction, events and community building in the DC metro area. I love converting busy professionals to the wonderful world of knitting! Recently I have started more knitting related retreats and trips, such as the Exploration of Lace Retreat in March and a Knitting Event on Mother's Day for mothers and daughters who want to learn together or improve their skills.



My beginner and intermediate classes can be found in a variety of places, including coffee shops, community centers and even bars.

But my real specialty is the "knitted party." It is a great way to spice up a bridal or baby shower or even a get together with girlfriends. At a "knitted shower," everyone learns to knit, while creating a small square that will become part of a blanket for the new bride's home or the baby that is on the way. For more advanced folks, a knitted party can focus on a skill such as lace or entrelac or on a project like Harry Potter Scarves, holiday stockings or sexy lingerie.



I hope you will join me one day for an event or knitting class!

Recap; Lost & Found

First I'd like to add my thanks to Woolarina's below - it was a great event and couldn't have happened without the hard work of our organizers, vendors, bakers, and donors. Thanks also to everyone who came out to shop and knit and crochet and spin!

We'll be creating a mailing list to keep everyone informed of future event planning. If you did not provide an email address on a door prize entry but want to be added to the list, please leave us a comment here or contact us on Ravelry. If you want to be added to any of the vendors' mailing lists, please visit their websites listed on the right. (don't worry - we're not going to bombard you with mail, just the occasional update)

Finally, someone left behind a bag of fiber, in the corner by the bake sale & door prize area. If that was you, please get in touch and I'll make sure you get your purchase!

Happy knit/crochet/spin/etc. -ing!

Thanks!

A gigantic THANKS to everyone who came out! This Yarn Party was a giant success, despite the building letting us in super late and all! I met so many new people and (finally) got to see some really awsome vendors! So glad this happened! I hope everyone was able to brave the crowds at the beginning and see some super goods!

We hope to have a bigger and better Yarn Party in the future -- maybe next February/March, so keep an eye out! :)

We have a flickr group for the event, so upload your pictures!!


Also, we had quite a few local yarn shops supporting us -- we'll be posting their information for everyone pretty soon, so do keep an eye out!
