Baby Surprise

The Thursday Knit Along group is working on the Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise pattern. "It is called the Surprise Jacket because it looks like nothing on earth when you have finished knitting it." The surprise comes when you sew the seams.


The above Surprise was made by Kathy S.

Stress Busters Association First 2007 Meeting

The Temp Yarn & Fiber’s Stress- Busters Association (SBA) support group kicked off their first meeting tonight.

What is the SBA?
The Stress Busters Association support group is a way to plan, start and finish projects for gifts for others (or yourself) early before the holidays are here.

When does SBA meet?
SBA meets every Saturday from 6:00-8:30 p.m. to give you encouragement, support, and inspiration. Come whenever you can and work on those projects. You’ll be amazed how quickly they get done.

How does it work?
It’s simple. You decide what you want to make, enter it in a project folder that only you see and then dedicate time to come into the shop and work on the project. There will also be a “Show and Tell” and a prize drawing the last Saturday of each month. Get a ticket each week that you attend SBA that month, and an extra ticket if you participate in that month’s “Show and Tell”.


Come join in the fun every Saturday!
As a fun project, the group made hand puppets for the Ronald McDonald House.

Thanks go out to everyone who attended.
