February Duel

The Dueling Knitters — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:47:10 +0000

Hello everyone, sad news for the duellers, Becky’s boyfriend, Rodger Swan, died suddenly Tuesday night. In memory of Rodger the February duel will not be a duel but a collaborative effort amongst all our knitting friends. Everyone is asked to knit or crochet a square or squares in memory of Rodger to put together into a memory blanket.
We have not decided the size yet, but if you want to do this comment and we’ll figure out the size of the squares based on how many people decide to knit in.
