UFO PARTY
UFOs = unfinished Objects are very invasive, have the tendency to multiply and take over drawers, closets, knitting bags and not to mention whole rooms. Do you find yourself buying more and more knitting bags to just give your UFOs a new hiding place? Then it's time to fight the finishing battle!
Friday, March 25 th, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm we will have a Finishing Party
Bring one or two of your UFOs and a snack if you like. We will provide beverages and help to get you started with your finishing battle.
