Knitting: The Possibilities at the Bridgeport Public Library!

Bridgeport, WV – Diana Hogan, of The Nest, will be at the Bridgeport Public Library on Tuesday, October 8th at 6:30pm to offer ideas for your next knitting project! Those interested in knitting and assisting others in learning how may discuss the possibilities of regularly meeting at the Library and thus creating a knitting club! All are welcome!

If you have questions about this event, please contact Sarah Nora at 304-842-8248. About The Nest I, Diana Hogan, learned to knit for a Girl Scout badge when I was 10 years old. My mother did not knit, but found a neighbor down the street who did. Sitting on Mrs. Vandergrift’s porch with cool breezes ruffling my knitting patterns, I not only earned my badge but fell in love with knitting. Mrs. V always wore a nightgown and robe because she had a bad heart. It was, however, a very warm and patient one as she guided me through my first sweater that summer. She died a few years later, never knowing how she had touched my life. I continued to knit through college, boyfriends, wedding showers, baby gifts, and finally sweaters for my teenage daughters (Each of these projects has a story of its own). When the opportunity arose to open my yarn and knitting shop I wanted to recreate those warm, relaxed, and secure summer days in my cozy little shop. THE NEST, as the name implies, has become a place of quiet respite and lots of laughter while providing the best in knitting yarns, needles, and supplies. If a visit to THE NEST is not possible, I hope a visit to our blog will provide a quiet break in your day that feeds your creative spirit… Diana Source: http://www.thenestyarn.com/about-the-nest/
