| The KNOTTY KNITTERS
of the Tacoma, WA, area have been creating a sensation and it's no wonder!
They'd rather be knitting NAKED---for Autism, that is. They've all dropped more than a stitch or two to produce a captivating calendar for the year 2011 so hurry and order your copies today.
Done tastefully in sepia tones with bare minimum knitted garments on display, each page is a testament to the fun that can be had when mixing knitting, friends and a serious loss of inhibitions. Not shown but quite in evidence are the big hearts behind this project which was sparked by awareness in Marsha's family with her twin grandchildren, Mollee and Josef, both of the Autism spectrum.
Marsha Cunningham--- hats off to you.
Autographed copies available. Contact Marsha or Lisa. Available in some knit shops, just ask.

And GUESS WHO is Miss October-----
(hint: She's also elsewhere on this page and fully clothed.)
