On Saturday, we’ll drive over to Hazel Knits, where you’ll be met with floor to ceiling walls (plural!) of colorful yarn. Will it be intimidating? Nope! You’ll use your newfound color confidence to pull together your unique and special yarn kit. Remember, too, that Paper Daisy will be with us, to answer any questions, or offer advice. Afterwards, it’s back to the hotel, for Show and Tell, then dinner on your own.
