PNA Village Knits

Hello knitters, crocheters and other yarn enthusiasts! How would you like to meet up with other fellow fiber lovers and PNA Village members to chat and practice your craft? We're considering doing a weekday afternoon meetup at Fiber Gallery, but would like to gauge member interest first.
