  Holding Hands Charity Event        
                 
  The Yarn Lady is gathering baby sweaters to give to charity! The goal is to gather as many sweaters as possible. We will hang them around the store, holding hands, making a chain of adorable baby sweaters.

Everytime you bring in a finished sweater, we will enter you into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate to the Yarn Lady. (Bring in 5 sweaters = you will be entered 5 times into the drawing.)

Please help us warm up all of the babies that need a little extra warmth and love.

Bring in all your sweaters by September 15, 2007.
The drawing will be held on September 17, 2007 at Yarn Lady.

The patterns are available online as listed below. Enjoy and Thank you for participating in such a wonderful event.
