| This is the stuff I came home with, both from the goodie bag and the snacks that I brought home for Todd. |
Sofia came across this great event and she, Olivia H, Rena and I all ended up going. This night which brought together two yummy things - yarn and hot chocolate - was part of The City Bakery's month long hot chocolate festival. This all you can eat and drink event exceeded expectations and really provided fantastic food and drinks in unending quantities.
Each of the knitting establishments involved in the event conducted a "hot chocolate" inspired knitting how-to workshop. Each workshop provided a list of materials and also sold kits, but you didn't need to purchase anything in addition to your entrance ticket or participate in anything beyond the plentiful food.
The workshops were:
Marshmallow Man (Brooklyn General Store)
Yarn Spinning Demonstration (Downtown Yarns)
Hot Chocolate Mug Cozy (Gotta Knit)
Marshmallow Hat (Knitty City)
Chocolate Bar Coaster (Purl)
Knitting 101 (Wool and The Gang)
Sofia and Olivia did the Knitting 101 workshop and picked knitting up really well! They each came finished the night with a couple of inches of knitted fabric. I was really impressed!
Rena and I did the marshmallow man workshop. The sample marshmallow man (on the right) was adorable, but mine came out a little wonky. I think the eyes need to me closer together and the blue thread really works. And I think the legs on my guy need to be under him more. Oh well - it was fun!
