Join Us for Some Fun!
As we mentioned last week, My Sister Knits is hosting Hannah Ginn, founder and dyer of Circus Tonic Handmade yarn, in December! This is such a special event because Hannah lives in Adelaide, South Australia! Opportunities to meet this talented independent dyer are rare indeed!
Hannah Ginn
Hannah is going to bring samples and is also going to put together a gift basket of Aussie (pronounced ‘Ozzie’ for those of you who aren’t sure) goodies for some lucky person to win!
We have finalized plans for her visit and want to share them with you! There are several activities for you to enjoy!
Hannah will arrive in Fort Collins Tuesday, December 12th and will leave us on Thursday, the 14th.
Tuesday
If Hannah arrives in time, she will attend Knit Night!
Wednesday we have a full day planned!
9am - 11am
Meet at Little Bird Bakery, 613 S College Ave for a morning of knitting and conversation. Please let us know if you think you’re coming so we can get an approximate headcount for seating.
1pm - 4pm
Hannah will be at My Sister Knits for more knitting and conversation about her dyeing inspiration and process.
The Regional
6pm
Dinner at The Regional, 130 S Mason St. We have seating for 14 people in their private room. If you’d like to join us, you may reserve a spot starting Saturday, November 11th. Call (970.407.1461) or come in to My Sister Knits to secure your spot with a $20 deposit using cash or a credit card. We will refund your deposit at the restaurant and we’ve also arranged for individual checks for dinner. We know that this will fill up quickly!

Gift Basket Raffle
Starting now, when you buy any Circus Tonic Handmade yarn, you will be entered into a raffle to win an awesome gift basket, complete with goodies chosen by Hannah, straight from Down Under! The winning ticket will be drawn on Wednesday while Hannah is at the shop.
We hope you can participate in any or all of our events with Hannah! It’s inspiring to talk to dyers about their passion and I always love talking to people from other countries. I imagine I’m not the only one!

If you’re making something with Circus Tonic, Hannah would love to see it! Bring it in, finished or in progress, while she’s here!
Happy knitting,
