September General Meeting
Saturday, September 12, 2009
Good Shepherd Center

Knitting the Peculiar:  Our guest speaker will be Hansi Singh, who does, indeed, knit the peculiar. Hansi, a Seattle resident, creates her own knitting patterns for odd creatures, such as a preying mantis, hermit crab, octopus, deep-sea angler fish, sea horse, chameleon, spider, and ant.

Her first book, Amigurumi Knits, has just been published. She sells her creatures and patterns on the Etsy website under the name "Hansigurumi." Come join us for a fun program where you can handle all the creatures that previously made your skin crawl!

General Meetings are held each September, January and May.
