This whole idea started last month when I was talking with 3 of the knitting world’s rock star Editors and Designers and discussing how much fun it would be to put together a little event that introduced some of us city folks to some cool summer vacation places for knitters. Since no one knows the places to visit like yarn editors, they mentioned a few Hampton locales and ideas and we began thinking how much fun it would be to organize something for a day. When two of them offered to come along - I knew we had something special on our hands - and here it is! Please join us as we take a Summertime Sojourn for a day in the Hampton’s. Please note that space is limited - and we can take up to 50 passengers only - 5 are already reserved. So, hurry on up and send me an email (pjjhowe@yahoo.com). We’ll take checks and/or paypal if that makes your life easier. Just drop me a line and I’ll tell you how to reserve your space. In the meantime, read on and see if this sounds like as much fun for you as it does for us.
