The annual Central Iowa Knitters Christmas Charity Tea is just a few weeks away! While you are enjoying the post-Thanksgiving sales, why don’t you look for a gift for the gift exchange ($15 or less; repurposed stash items are always great gifts, too!)?

Join us on December 6th at 7pm at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church (room 130/132 – enter through the Family Life Center). Bring an appetizer or dessert to share, any completed charity knitting you wish to donate, and a gift for the gift exchange (optional). The CIK Board will provide hot tea and door prizes!

Where did October go? Once you’re done packing away the halloween costumes and taking down the fake tombstones and spiderwebs, head over to the Central Iowa Knitters meeting – Tuesday, November 1st @7pm at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Meetings on the first of the month always seem to sneak up on you! See you there!

Join us at 7pm TONIGHT (Tuesday, September 6th) for CIK’s monthly meeting. Remember we are meeting at Gloria Dei Church in Urbandale (corner of 86th and Aurora) in Room 130/132 (enter through the Family Life Center).

August 2011: New (old) time, new place!

centraliowaknitters — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 02:32:37 +0000

Starting with this month’s meeting, Central Iowa Knitters will hold their monthly meetings at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Urbandale (corner of 86th and Aurora). The move was approved at the June meeting. One consequence of the move is that we are moving back to our original meeting time of 7pm on the first Tuesday of the month.

So join us TOMORROW, August 2nd at 7pm at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in rooms 130/132. Enter through the west doors of the family life center. There is no official program; bring your knitting, your charitable donations, and your show-and-tell. See you there!
