Come see us at the Scavenger Hunt today

Greetings!

Today there is a Scavenger Hunt downtown in Mount Vernon - Mount Vernon Scavenger Hunt article.  The NAMI office is one of the stops for clues, so our group will be hanging out there to share our work and answer questions about our group and about NAMI.  We would love to chat with you, so please stop by!  The NAMI office address is 117 W. High Street, located right across from the Mount Vernon News Office.

Hope to see you there!

Last time we met, it was right before Christmas.  As long as the weather permits, we will meet tomorrow at the Happy Bean in Mount Vernon at 10am.  Come join us to unwind, stitch, and mend!

Hello and Welcome to our first post on our new blog:  Unravel, Stitch and Mend!

We are a monthly gathering of fiber artists supporting our local NAMI by providing all kinds of opportunities to be of service and improve the mental health status of our families in Knox and Licking counties.

How did we get started?

Jo Ann and Barry took the Family to Family class taught by Vivian and Jeanne last year.  Jo Ann gave Vivian the book:  "Stitch and Bitch - The Knitter's Handbook" with page #115 marked - How to start your own Stitch & Bitch group.

So we've tried to meet the second Saturday every month this year but we've been about as organized as a soup sandwich. We used to meet at Sips but that closed. We tried the South Side Diner - don't ask!  Then Dodie said "Get it together, girls" and we asked Angie to help us so now here we are.

As I type this Angie just finished her first row of knitting!  Under Jo Ann's gentle coaching she become a true stitcher!  But I don't think she'll ever start bitchin'....  She's just too cute!

Come and join us next month at The Happy Bean, Saturday October 8th at 10 am.
