 Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Thistledown Shoppe's drive for crocheted, knitted, and other new items for our youth in foster care and those aged out of foster care.  We realize that this was a last minute request and you have thoroughly amazed us with your generosity.  Less than two weeks after a request was sent out, you responded with miscellaneous items and gift cards, along with 95 hats, scarves, mittens, and purses !  It is the heartwarming gestures by folks like you that make our community great.

Needle Gauge Pendants

  Not sure what size your needles are?  Tired of looking for your needle gauge?  Like to wear necklaces?

These make it nice and easy, along with looking cute.
Raverly.   This is where you go for fun.   Ask for an invitation and then in several days go in and start playing.  Make sure you have lots of time available.  And don't forget to add me, kmd52, as your friend.

You can go to patterns and find examples of what others have done with a specific pattern.  Have some yarn, but don't know what to do with it?  Look under yarn, enter your yarn, and again, see what others are doing. 

Stop by and we will show you what else you can do on Ravelry.
 
We will be closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays; December 24 & 25 and December 31 & January 1.
