Yarned and Dangerous

Have you seen this woman?

Last scene around 8 p.m. in West Hartford, CT. in the company of five other suspected crazed fiber fanatics leaving the Sit N' Knit after a rampage which left the owner, her husband, a store manager and several innocent by-knitters unharmed but in a state of shock. The incident occurred at 6:30 p.m. when the six entered the store and began wildly pillaging through yarn bins, stuffing bags with everything they could get their hands on. According to one witness, the culprits seemed to be "on something", noting, "They were even fighting among themselves over certain sport weights." At one point, several of the women demanded the owner go to the basement to find errant skeins. The raid lasted for an hour and a half before the suspects left the scene with massive amounts of worsted wools, silks and several valuable notions.

Working with a sketch artist, witnesses described the ringleader as having curly blonde hair and being rather "drawn". Using the alias Purl Needlemeyer, she was last seen wearing a retro black and pink shirt and a carrying two sharp weapons. She is to be considered yarned and dangerous.

The group, now recognized to be The Close Knit Gang, is made up of other known offenders: "The Cashmere Kid," currently wanted in connection with the Shawl Pin caper; "The Boot", "The Double Pointed Accountant", "Two Sticks McGinnity", and "Jenny Bag 'o Wool" also known as "The Bag Seller."

Anyone with information leading to their capture and conviction should contact officials immediately.
