This fall, the Knotty Club will be working together crafting items for the SPSP Christmas Fair in November. We have some specific projects in mind and will supply everything you need.

Please contact Lynda or Adora each week so we know how many kits we need to assemble for the craft each week.

We're trying to come up with enough crafts to keep us busy until November so please share your ideas with Adora and Lynda.
