Knotty Habit June 2024 Newsletter

03/06/2024
Pam Brown said dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of songs.

That is so true and in the same token I can say husbands and business partners are loving and dedicated ordinary men turning into plan makers, crate carriers and coffee makers.

To all the hardworking fathers and husbands out there supporting and loving their families, thank you!

We traveled to the USA as proud parents in May to attend the PhD graduation ceremony of our daughter Elzani. It was extra special to spend time with all three of our kids, the 2 daughters-in-love, Elzani’s partner and off cause our sweet granddaughter. We are beyond blessed!
We are planning to have a lot of FUN in June.

Firstly, we will host our second Knit in Public Day on 8 June with Colours of Amalfi at Ouma Isies Tea Garden. We have unfortunately reached our maximum capacity of 120. If you have RSVP'ed, we are looking forward to see you.
The last F in this month of Fun and Fathers is Festival! We are excited to be exhibitors for the first time at the Winter Wool Festival in Middelburg, Eastern Cape from 14-15 June 2024. Please come say hello if you are visiting this unique event.
With all the mayhem after returning from our holiday and the public holiday last week we decided to extend the Term 2 Yarn Klub Box deadline to 4 June.

The Term 2 Yarn Klub Box will also have an added bonus with the option to join a KAL (knit along) or CAL (crochet along) and you can buy a Knit or Crochet Cowl pattern perfect for the 3ply DK yarn at a discounted price from Mariana from Sweet Crochet Dreams or Hannelie from The Woolly Mammoth. These patterns were specifically designed for this Yarn Box. If you want to participate in the K(C)AL, please email Miensie (). There will be zoom sessions and guidance throughout the K(C) AL to make it extra enjoyable and fun. A BIG thank you to our awesome designers.
