Hello Yarnies, Happy Friday the 13th! Just the launch into spooky season we needed! No formal business meeting this month because I (Arminda) am easily confused by the space-time continuum and don’t understand how calendars work and I got some dates mixed up! Join us for the makers for Kamala viewing party instead! See more below. Likely there will be some Yarnies541 business and planning talk during the event.
Keep reading for upcoming events!
