The Urban Sheepenings
(The Haps at The Sheep.)

We'll meet at the store and caravan. Just mention your name and put "carpool" in the subject line.

January 26th,
5pm to 9pm+
We're usually closed on Sunday, but this is a rare opportunity to shop, knit, and party at the store on a Sunday evening! We will open at 5pm and stay open until the end of the Academy Awards. Come watch on our big TV. We'll have fun making predictions and mostly being wrong, but who knows?
Prizes will abound!

It's a great article on the resurgence of knitting's popularity in recent years.

Hope to See You Soon, Molly and Michael Carlson
