Yarn Tasting: December 8th, we’ll have our Secret Santa Swap and Boozy Yankee Swap from 5-7. The Boozy Yankee Swap can be either liquor-based cookies and treats (check out the recipes here) or a bottle of your favorite tipple (keep the bottles to 1/2 pint or less or under $15). Some of you will be so inspired by the recipes, you’ll want to do both! Even if you opted to not join in the Secret Santa, everyone is welcome to come and join in the Boozy Yankee Swap.
