Crafter's Night

This event has become the BYOC (Bring your own Chair) ;). event at Gate City
Yarns.  We have run out of seating a couple of times it is so popular!  Some folks
are bringing folding chairs.  This night is a great opportunity to hang with other
crafters.  Spinning, weaving, crochet, and knitting are all going on.  There is a big
time show and tell.  There is no charge for this event.  It happens monthly on the
third Tuesday from 7pm to 9pm!  Everyone is welcome.  And now we have the
fireplace working!
First Fridays

This event is coordinated with Downtown
Greensboro, Inc.  Many merchants are
open extended hours these nights.  For us
it has become another excuse to hang out
with a project.  This is also a free event!  
Every month on the first Friday from
6:30-9pm.

 March Crafter's Night is
moved to Friday March 19
630-8 pm so we can hang
with The Crochet Dude!
Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude®, was taught to
crochet at age five by his mother while snowbound in Lake Tahoe.  
After studying fine art in college and doing the “starving artist” thing
for years, he found solace in crocheting for charity while grieving the
passing of his mom.  It was during this time with the charity group
that he became known as The Crochet Dude, which then led to the  
launch of his wildly popular blog in 2005 -  
www.thecrochetdude.com  
Since then Drew has had published numerous patterns in magazines
and compilations books, his own full-length books, has appeared as
a guest on various TV programs, and is currently the crochet expert
on the hit PBS show "Knit and Crochet Now".   

Watch out, crochet has a new Boye® toy, as Drew has teamed
up with Boye® brand hooks to launch his own line of kits,
hooks, tools & accessories, premiering summer 2010!


Drew lives in Houston, TX with his cats Chandler and Cleocatra
