Project - the stunning Wingspan shawl.
This shawl has been getting a lot of interest from knitter's everywhere. It can be knit in an array of yarns and colours and uses only 1 ball of regular sock or lace yarn.
It's fun, easy and lovely to wear.
What a nice way to spend a summer day.
Gather up some knitting friends and come out for a relaxing day in the beautiful surroundings of the Shadow Lawn Inn.
Price: $60 plus materials (1 ball should do it) includes a beautiful lunch and shawl instruction. Purchase your yarn for this project at any Cricket Cove shop - we have something for everyone. Call Benjamin's Books at 848-1234 to register.

Our event was a huge success. It was a sellout and many of our patrons enjoyed a delicious dinner beforehand. Dave entertained the group with his own music plus lots of Christmas tunes to get us in the mood for the season.
