This Weekend: KidKnits Extravaganza!

If you haven't caught on, we're pretty thrilled about our partnership with a social business called KidKnits. KidKnits markets the  merino yarn that is handspun by our very own Rwandan women by selling the yarn in craft kits for kids. Right now we have 21 women working hard to create beautiful products like this:

And saying good-bye to poverty forever. By the way, want to learn how the women make this beautiful yarn? Check out the cool slide show here.

So here's the weekend scoop:

SATURDAY
Make a day with your family and friends and hang out in Historic Gruene. Do you want to help people while you're at it? At The Stone Coffee Bar (1198 Gruene Road!) there is a pretty huge joint venture going on to support Rwandan widows AND pediatric cancer patients. Get this: Brilliant Starts Learning Academy is hosting a bake sale to raise money for pediatric cancer research. And we are partnering with KidKnits to sell the knitting kits so that YOU can learn to knit your very own hat (with yarn handspun by an incredible Rwandan widow) and then you can donate the completed hats to cancer patients. It's at 10 a.m. at the patio at 1198 Gruene Road.

SUNDAY
1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Ten Thousand Villages
Ten Thousand Villages is hosting a KidKnits trunk show on Austin's South Congress Avenue. KidKnits will be selling their knitting craft kits for kids and also will be releasing their new color. It's going to be a blast! Come one, come all!
