I know, I know, it’s super early to be scheduling Holiday Parties, but when you’ve got holiday knitting to plan, the earlier the better.
The Sweatshop of Love Holiday Party!
When: Friday, December 9th at 7pm
Where: Green Eye Lounge on Western and Milwaukee
We come up with a lot of excuses to knit in the bar, but I think the Holiday Season is our best excuse yet. It’s time to celebrate nearing the end of holiday gift knitting with some beers and some more knitting! So grab an easy project (its dark, and loud, and there will be beer) and please join us at Green Eye on Dec 9th!
RSVP on our Facebook Event Page. It’s going to be an awesome time!
Secret Knitting Santa
Want to knit a present for someone you know will appreciate it? Then knit something for a knitter! Let me know if you want to participate in this years Secret Santa exchange.
Rules: Put together a knitterly gift! Knit something, put together a kit, package up some pretty yarn, buy some much needed needles or a project bag. A good rule of thumb is buy or knit for yourself, and your Secret Knitting Santa will probably love it.
Let me know if you want to participate! I’ll be drawing names and letting you know who your person is a week from today, Wednesday, November 2nd. You will need to either guarantee you are coming to the party on Dec 9th or get me your present before the party to participate. I had a hell of a time last year getting presents to people and I’m not doing it again, dammit! (<- holiday cheer!)
Hey lady! Can we be long-distance secret santa buddies? I’m over here in DC, but I love a good secret santa. =) Promise I can put my stuff in the mail in plenty of time before the party. Let me know whatcha think!

For sure! I hadn’t thought to open it up to people who weren’t in Chicago, but I’m getting requests left and right so I should have opened it up from the get-go!
You are all signed up and I’ll email you next week with your Secret Santa person’s info.
Yay! Can’t wait to see what you cook up!
