Bring your favorite cookie tin (we will have little baggies too) and graze the cookie table to create your own take home collection of homemade goodies!

BRING 6-12 'unique' stitch markers to the event. We will 'graze' that table as well and swap some neat knitting notions with one another! This will be a very casual cookie/stitch marker exchange to have fun at this floating event. Chris and I will furnish the plates, drinks etc.
