Calling
all
Knitters
and
Crocheters!
Our
third
annual KnitMaine-ia fashion show is going to be better than
ever this
year! We are teaming up with the
organizers of Fiber College to bring you a colorful, creative, fun and
inspiring event!
Once
again,
all
proceeds
will
be
donated
to New Hope for Women, whose mission is to
offer
support to people in Lincoln,
Knox and Waldo counties affected by domestic and dating violence, and
to
provide educational resources to assist our communities in creating a
safer and
healthier future.
In addition to
displaying your hand knit treasures, we are asking contributors to knit
a
scarf, hat, infant blanket, or pair of mittens to be given to the women
and
children who receive services from New Hope.
Please help us
to make this event a success, as we
seek to bring
together community for the greater good. The event is scheduled
for Thursday evening at 5:30 P.M., Sept. 6, 2012 right after FC classes
get out. The show is
sponsored by the Women of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church and is being
held at "The
Studio" at Searsport Shores Park.

What is Fiber
College?
It's
all
about
doing...and
it's
more
than
classes:
it's
community,
sharing
and
evening
events.
We hold the following statements to be true: September is the
most beautiful month on the coast of Maine. Surrounded by the sea
and bordered by gardens you can relax, revitalize and daydream~ you know that you need this.
Friendships are built around shared interests, long pauses and
unexpected connections.
Fiber College is a completely volunteer-driven, learning festival
devoted to
introducing, maintaining and furthering traditional arts using all
forms
of fiber. We invite talented artists to teach a wide range of fee-based classes in
hopes that you will sample new vistas and share your
passions. In the evening there are gatherings for meals,
exchanges and casual learning.
On September 6-9, 2012 you have the choice of taking classes, chosen
now or at the gate, or simply purchasing an entrance pass ($8) and
spending the day. Either way you'll be in the midst of beauty,
watching scheduled demonstrations, visiting the Gallery show, strolling
the Shoppers Boulevard, interacting with fiber critters and wandering
through the acres of organic gardens and miles of beach. Said
another way, we want you to dawdle at the the water's edge, soaking up
the atmosphere, the
passion and wonderful people who weave the sizzle into Fiber College.
The College is always held on the beautiful grounds of Searsport Shores
in
mid-coast
Maine the weekend after
Labor
Day. Accomodations are available at the park and in the
surrounding hotels and B&B's of Searsport and Belfast. Come when
you can. Everybody is welcome. Click the slide show to the
