We are so excited to have been named "Best Girl's Night Out - Community Building Events." Strut is celebrating the "Best Of" campaign at the Royal Oak Music Theatre, Thursday, April 24 at 6 pm. Click here for tickets and more information.
In Linda Lacina, the editor's own words:
"In
case you need a reminder, the Girlfriends' Night Out is our celebration
of everything great for women in metro Detroit and you'll get all
manner of frreebies (including a Strutini glass to take home,
mini-makeovers from Parisian and a photo of you and your girlfriends),
get stuffed with tons of food from vendors such as P.F. Chang's and
Tom's Oyster Bar, and get a chance to shop and have fun with your
friends."

Blogging!
Karen's
back from a business conference in Chicago. The verdict: Karen needs to
be a blogger, and City Knits or Karen or both, need to interact with
the resources of Ravelry.com and Yelp.com. So if you can bear to put
down your knitting and crocheting for a minute, please go post a review about City Knits at Yelp. Anyone can post, and frankly Detroit's Yelp listing could use a lot more traffic.
Or - if you're already a Ravelry member click to visit the new City Knits Forum on Ravelry. If you're not a member this link will take you to the waiting list sign-up page.
Just don't spend so much time blogging, typing, surfing & posting that you don't have time to stitch!
