We have such a good time.  We had 16 people attend throughout the evening, plus one fellow who wandered in and liked the food.  About 11:30 we went to the ball drop.  The evening was practically balmy with temperatures in the 50's.

We will have to do this again next year!

Caps for Good Baby Hat Donation

Your handmade cap can help save a life.  Baby caps are a simple and effective tool that can keep babies warm and ultimately contribute to reducing newborn deaths in the developing world. 
The Save the Children and Caps for Good organizations are sponsoring this drive to collect baby caps.  More information is available at http://www.goodgoes.org/caps.  This website contains patterns and information about the Caps for Good program.
You may ship your caps directly to the organization, or, if you deliver your caps to Nautical Yarn by January 1st, we will ship all we receive.

Please ship to:

Q & A Session for TKGA Master Knitter Level 1 Program from 10 AM until Noon

You may remember that we mentioned the The Knitting Guild of America (TKGA) Master Knitter program in our Fall 2010 newsletter. 
For more information visit read the TKGA FAQs at their website (http://www.tkga.com/mastersprogram.shtm). 
We have enough interest to proceed with a Master Knitter Level 1 KAL (Knit Along). 
On December 11th from 10 until noon we will discuss the program and answer your questions.  This may help you decide if you wish to participate in the TKGA Master Knitter Level 1 program.  If you are unable to attend, please email Carole at info@nauticalyarn.com and let me know that you are interested in the Master Knitter KAL.  I will reply with more information, starting dates, online KAL info, etc. after our December 11th meeting.
