Most exciting week ahead of me!!!!!

Look what was in my IN box from a local knit store!!!!!!!

Two Events, Three Authors

April 20th, Thursday, 5 pm to 7 pm
Perri Klass and her mother and co-author, Shelia will read from their new book, Every Mother is a Daughter: The Neverending Quest for Success, Inner Peace, and a Really Clean Kitchen (Recipes and Knitting Patterns Included).

Perri Klass is a pediatrician, professor, author, knitter, wife, mother and a daughter. Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass prove to be ideal collaborators as they examine motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful, if sometimes fraught, ways their lives have overlapped. Publishers Weekly says: “This is a treasure for any generation."

Perri Klass is also President of Reach Out and Read which trains doctors and nurses to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and gives books to children at pediatric check-ups. Currently, Reach Out and Read serves more than 2 million children annually and has distributed more than 3.2 million books. During Perri & Shelia Klass's visit Arcadia Knitting will be accepting donations to Reach Out and Read. To thank you for your donations, Arcadia Knitting will give donors 10 cents off for every dollar donated on their next purchase at Arcadia Knitting. Funds will be donated directly to Access Healthcare Network here in Chicago that has four program sites in the city serving uninsured and under insured patients.

Copies of the book will be available for sale at Arcadia Knitting.

April 23rd, Sunday, 4 pm to 6 pm
Debbie Stoller comes to Arcadia Knitting, to read from her new book, Stitch ‘N Bitch: The Happy Hooker.

Written in the author’s cheeky chick style, this heavily illustrated book features four-color photographs and instructional illustrations throughout. Just like the Stitch N Bitch books, Debbie Stoller covers it all: the advantages of crochet, tools used, the cool yarns available, what gauges mean, and basic techniques and stitches including the chain stitch, picot, flowers, filet crochet, changing yarns, and finishing.

In honor of Debbie Stoller's visit Arcadia Knitting will be hosting a tea and book signing from 4 pm to 6 on Sunday April 23rd at Arcadia Knitting, 1613 W. Lawrence Ave., Chicago, IL 60640. 773-293-1211. www.arcadiaknitting.com Copies of all Stitch ‘N Bitch books will be available for sale.

Bet you can't guess where I will be on Thursday Evening AND Sunday Afternoon!!!!!!!
