Great job, friends!💙✊🏻

WNEM stopped by tonight to talk to us about the Melt The Ice Hat knit and crochet gatherings we and other yarn shops are hosting to bring awareness to what is happening in Minneapolis. Carolynn did an interview while we had a large gathering tonight. See it air on TV5 tonight at 11. We are purchasing the patterns for anyone who would like them (proceeds of the patterns go to immigration aid) and we are offering 40% off any red yarn purchased.

Some ways to help those impacted:
