Just to let you know what we'll be reading at KnitLit READS on Thursday, September 28:
Karma and other stories, by Rishi Reddi

Never heard of it? That's because it won't be published until March, 2007. I got a hold of an advance copy and was captivated. Hope you are too.

7-8:30 p.m.
L.A.O.S. Bookstore
The Carriage Shops
233 N. Pleasant St.

See you there!

Here's what you need to start a KnitLit READS group of your own:

1. A regular time and meeting place, with refreshments if you'd like. Start by asking your local bookstore.

2. A nucleus of knitters.

3. A story of your choice and a reader (or a boom box if no one can stop knitting).

4. Copies of one or all of the KnitLit books. We read a selection from one of the books at the end of every meeting.

We'll post all information about groups, so keep us posted - and send photos, too.

You're invited! Thursday, September 28, 7pm.

KnitLit READS is a group of knitters who meet the 4th Thursday of every month at the L.A.O.S. Bookstore in the Carriage Shops, Amherst, Mass. 7-8:30 p.m. Come and enjoy a reading of a short story. Refreshments, too!

This is a very informal group. The reading will be about 20-30 minutes (depending on the selection), followed by a short piece of writing about knitting. There will be plenty of time to visit, snack, and talk about our knitting.

I'm open to any suggestions for stories to read aloud: so far we've read Dorothy Allison, WP Kinsella, and Alice Munro.

On September 28, I will be unavoidably out of town, so Jean Stone, local author and contributor to KnitLit and KnitLit Too, will be reading.

Please tell anyone you know who may be interested.
