KNITTING & NEEDLEPOINT NEWS FROM CAST-ON COTTAGE

The month of January is speeding by and we are trying to keep up.  Soon it will be February which is American Heart Month.

We have asked Katy Attebery to share some valuable information with you in this newsletter regarding heart health. Katy is the co-founder of the Queen of Hearts Foundation and a Cast-on Cottage knitter.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW KNITTERS

We are thrilled to meet all the new knitters who have joined us this month.

Our beginner knitting classes are filled so we have added a second session on Monday nights with Mary. If you know someone who has been trying to find a spot in a beginner class, please let them know about the new classes.
