Join the Fiber Friends! This October and November, the Fiber Friends will be holding 2 knit-alongs. For intermediate and advanced knitters, the project will be knitting a Night Shift Shawl on Saturdays beginning October 28, 11am, at the Flat Iron Cooperative in Bellows Falls during regular Fiber Friend gatherings. For beginning knitters, take on an easy project with the “Barley” hat on Wednesdays beginning November 8, 5pm, at the Rockingham Free Public Library.
