Knitting Book Club I always wish I could knit and read at the same time. Alas! We must settle for talking about reading while knitting. Knitting book club meets the first Monday of each month! We show off our knitting projects while talking about the book we all just read. For more information or this month’s book, please email me at allyson@thesweatshopoflove.com.
