FeelGood Knitting Event with Kate Jacobs!
Kate Jacobs will discuss The Friday Night Knitting Club as well as her upcoming book release. Fans will have the chance to meet Kate, have books signed and take photos with the celebrated author.
Shop
Want to feel good about shopping and giving? For every Lands’ End FeelGood sweater purchased, the company will donate signature FeelGood yarn to One Heart Foundation’s Warming Families, a nationwide knitting charity. Lands’ End expects to donate thousands of pounds of yarn and volunteers plan to knit up to 25,000 hats and other items to warm the homeless and displaced.
Knit
I’ll be on-hand to lead a “Knit-Out”.” More advanced knitters will knit hats while beginners will learn basic stitches and will knit squares to make scarves. All items will be donated to local homeless shelters.
Win Prizes
Attendees will have the chance to win event prizes as well. Any area knitter that brings in a handmade hat for the FeelGood campaign will win also win a prize. Hat patterns can be found at www.landsend.com/feelgood.
