Crafty News:

• Hunter’s Latest! Ne’er-do-Well Knits
• Halos of Hope Podcaster Throwdown (Our CraftLit-Throwdown group page on Ravelry) The rules are: There are no rules!
  No just kidding, but we are treating it a bit like a playground style throwdown, so there aren’t many rules.
  It basically boils down to this:
  Listeners may donate to multiple podcast teams (but each individual hat will only count toward one team).
  Follow the Halos of Hope guidelines when making your hats. (http://www.halosofhope.org/volunteers/cap-patterns-a-guidelines.html)
  It’s looking like there will be prize drawing for people who donated hats to the winning team.
  Since we’re a multi-craftual podcast, please know that hats may be knitted, crocheted, or sewn. And there are even a few patterns for sewn hats/headwraps on the Halos Site.
• Lots of What (Else) Would Madame Defarge Knit? KALs happening right now. Learn more and sign up for the mailing list.
