Knit Out DC

If you live in the Washington, DC, area make sure to mark Sunday, October 23rd on your calendar. The fifth annual Washington, DC, Knit Out and Crochet 2005 will be held on the National Mall in front of the Natural History Museum on that day. I have not personally attended the event, but have heard from many knitters that it is not be missed. According to the event's website at http://www.knit-out.org the day will include:

Learn to knit and crochet — Free lessons, and we have kits to get you started

Fashion shows — See wearable art from knitters and crocheters, local shops, and yarn companies

Charity corner — Start, finish, or bring a project to work on; help assemble charity blankets

Exhibits — See and touch the latest yarns from local shops and the industry

Show & share — Bring your latest creations and tell about them

Doctor is in! — Get advice on new techniques and problem projects

Meet and join — Make new friends in the knit/crochet community, learn about local groups

I'd love to hear from anyone who has attended in the past.
