 Dinner, wine, and a literary evening with Bay Area author Peggy Orenstein.



Date:  Saturday in Mid-Sept (TBA)


Time: 6 pm


Place:  The home of Synergy Alum Parent, Kathy Angus in Bernal Heights


Cost:  $100.00 per person


Includes a copy of Peggy Orenstein's new memoir, Unraveling.


In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch--shearing, spinning, dyeing wool--and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone.  


The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large and small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged and cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater.



Join us for this beautiful evening of food, socializing, and book discussion. Includes dinner, dessert, and wine; the author will share insights and answer questions about her work.
