Woooo! WHAT A NIGHT! Last thursday, in order to celebrate Fashion's Night Out in New York City, the gang settled at Barneys and welcome knitters from all kind (fresh faced beginners, already crazy addicts like Chennie who learned how to knit with WATG,...). The main goal of this very night was to knit the biggest and crazyest blanket ever! A blanket of love, friendship and peace that will be auctioned soon to raise money for The National September 11th Museum & Memorial Foundation.
If you missed the event, don't worry you can't still be part of the blanket by sending us CRAZY SEXY WOOL knitted squares (25x25cm — 10x10 inches).
Send your knitted squares to:
Wool And The Gang
225 West 36th Street - 6th floor
10018 New York - New York USA
Thanks again to everyone who joined us at Barneys!

First contest results
Here are the results of our first creative contest "knit in public". Nadège Winter, our style director, helped us select the craziest creation that represent our gang spirit. OUR WINNER is KnitSpirit and her cool street knitting performance, inspirated by the Knitta Please artwork. We found it the most powerful and proud as it takes place in an everyday place. We also love the name "yarnbombing" ! Congratulations Gaëlle and enjoy your Tala Tank Top kit !
Congratulations also to the other contestants for their creations below.
