In keeping with sharing things of general yarny interest: Another LYS (and other fiber finds) has joined the mix here in Kitsap County! Callow Fibers opened its doors last Saturday and it is definitely worth a visit!! 🧶🧶

Hello POKR community! From time to time here on the POKR retreat page, we will be posting knitterly related things that we think will be of general interest.
Coming up this Saturday, April 11, is the sixth annual Knit for Food knit-a-thon. Knit for Food is a 12-hour knitting marathon to raise funds for hunger and food insecurity. 100% of all donations will be divided equally between Feeding America, World Central Kitchen, No Kid Hungry, and Meals on Wheels. A link for more information is in the comments.
