Knit Out on the Courthouse Lawn

Attention all Chicagoland knitters! Wool and Company, a yarn shop in Geneva, IL, is hosting "Knit Out on the Courthouse Lawn" this Wednesday as part of the annual Swedish Days festival. The announcement from their website is copied below.

This festival is a midsummer’s day and night dream for anyone who delights in good food and drink, music and live entertainment, and free activities that are fun for kids as well as adults! Originally a celebration of Geneva’s Swedish roots, the festival has transformed into a celebration of sun and summer! Join us downtown in Geneva for a rousing parade, nightly entertainment, including a Custom & Classic Motorcycle Show, Art Show & Craft Show, an old-fashioned carnival, and of course, great shopping in our historic business district. More information at the Geneva Chamber of Commerce web site.

At Wool and Company we have organized a Knit Out on the Courthouse Lawn. On Wednesday, June 22nd don't miss our first ever Knit Out on the Courthouse lawn. It runs from 11am 'til 3pm on the South Lawn of the Old Courthouse on 3rd street. We will have competitions at 12, 1pm and 2pm with drawings and prizes in between. Some of our vendors have been very generous and we have some lovely gifts to give out. Bring your knitting project and your lunch, or enjoy some of the delicious fare available at the many vendor booths on 3rd street. If you don't yet know how to knit, that's OK, we will teach you the basics. If you want to bring small children, the Creation Station on James Street, is offering Puppet shows and then a take and make puppet session. Toooo cooool!
