Bazaar Girls Yarn Shop Bazaar Girls Yarn Shop is hosting a Zoom class with Bristol Ivy: “Say It In Stitches: Encoded Lace.” Please join us as we learn how to encode words into lace knitting, so that you could, for instance, knit the words to a special poem, or your children’s names. You’ll learn how to: 1) design your own lace patterns using improvisational lace techniques; 2) turn words into numbers, numbers into knitting stitches, and knitting stitches into lace to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Join us and add to your knitting vocabulary. March 4, 18 & April 8 from 10:30 am-12:30 pm on Zoom. The classes will be recorded for later viewing.

Charity Knitting: All Wound Up Our chemo hat drive is benefiting two local cancer centers in the Edmonds area. Charity Makers are encouraged to knit hats of all sizes, colors, and patterns for men and women. Please only use cotton or bamboo yarns (no acrylic or animal fibers). You may drop off your hats at All Wound Up. Accessories and garments of all kinds are also collected at the store for Clothes for Kids. These can be made in any washable fiber. Capitol Hill Knitters of Doooom A group of knitters in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle (and beyond!) have been collecting hand knit (and crochet) hats, scarves, mittens, and gloves to distribute to those in need at Cal Anderson Park. More information/meeting information is available on their blog or in their Ravelry group. Stranded by the Sea Stranded by the Sea's Hook & Needle Knockers Group is collecting knit and crocheted "Knitted Knockers" for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to the breast.
