Knitting News from The Flaming Ice Cube
Greetings!

Our Summer Yarn Tasting is tonight!  If you wish to attend and haven't made your reservation, please do so ASAP.  Kits are limited and there are only a few left.

Lots of new books and dvd's have arrived at The Cube.  We will have more details about our first "Movie Night" in the next knitting news email.

Plans for our Spring retreat 2013 are moving right along.  We are leaning towards a spa theme, beginning Friday evening and ending Sunday afternoon.   We will keep you posted via emails and our website as to the dates, activities, etc.  Happy Knitting!
 
Hope to see you soon!
