WABASH, IN – All knitting enthusiasts – novice to expert – are invited to a knitting gathering at the Dr. James Ford Historic Home in celebration of National Knitting Day on Sat., June 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Dr. James Ford Historic Home is located at 177 W Hill Street in Wabash, Indiana.
Attending knitters are encouraged to bring their favorite needles, show off their “purls”, spin a few yarns, and cast their cares away…however, knitted brows are discouraged.
