“Purls Of Joy” April 23 & 24, 2010 It just doesn’t seem possible that it is that time of year again. Yes, the “Purls Of Joy” Seminar will soon be here. Preparations are already underway. The Upper Midwest Knitting Machine Dealers are working very hard to put on another outstanding seminar for you. This will be our 26th year. Our classes are being taught by a group of skilled and innovative guest demonstrators and our own talented members. Our guest demonstrators are: Mar Heck, Pam Pomerenke, Carolyn Barnett, & Teena Crawshaw. Many of our own Upper Midwest Dealers will be teaching also. We will have classes for the beginner to the very experienced, hopefully everyone will leave having learned something new. We have 5 - 1 hour classes on Friday and 5 - 45 minute classes on Saturday approximately 5 or 6 classes will be going on at one time. Don’t forget our “Style Show” on Friday night at the banquet. Those of you that participate in the Style Show will be entered into our drawing for a $50.00 Gift Certificate. Everyone should wear something they have knit to the banquet, if you recall, we just pick you out and have you tell us about the knitwear you’ve created! Something new this year, we will have a drawing at noon lunch on Saturday. The Grand Prize will be a “Free” seminar package (excluding hotel) for 2011. Must be present to win and it will be non-transferable Contest Every year we have a different theme for our contest. This year our theme is “A Pullover.” Everyone and anyone can knit a pullover no matter how simple or fancy. Let’s all knit one so you will have a chance to win the contest.
