Gearing Up for Get Your Knits Virginia Yarn Crawl

We're gearing up for the 2013 Get Your Knits Virginia Yarn Crawl!  The Get Your Knits bags with the stamp cards have arrived.  Come get one before they're gone! Visit participating shops all across the state and receive 15% off by presenting your bag at the check out.  Also, spend at least $10 at a participating shop to get a stamp on your card, return the card to the Get Your Knits headquarters to be entered for a drawing with cool prizes.  And as if that weren't enough to entice you, you'll also get entered for a drawing for every $25 you spend at each participating store & each store is giving away a $50 gift card.  Whew!  That sure is a mouthful!

WWKIP Week Contest

It's that time of year again when the sun is shining and begging you to come out and play. But what's a knitter to do?? We've been in our recliners knitting away in the shadows of our yarn filled dens; Dare we venture out to play in the sun?

We've got the perfect solution to transition you to the outside world!

June 8th-16th is the World Wide Knit In Public Celebration.

We want to encourage you to get out there and knit!

Between these dates, (6/8 & 6/16) we would love to see photos of you knitting in public. These don't have to be fancy set up photo shoots; just a simple snap shot will do!

What we would like is a photo of you knitting in a public place (library, restaurant, grocery store, gas station, Anywhere!) along with a little information - Where you're knitting, what you're knitting, and maybe what yarn you're using.

Now for the rules: Photos may be submitted between 6/8 and 6/16 at midnight est. Please use photos taken during the WWKIP dates and not previously taken photos. Each person's name will be entered only once though we do encourage you to send multiple photos. Winner's name will be drawn on Tuesday 6/18. Please email your photos to alikelyyarn@yahoo.com We love Facebook submissions so please post on our wall.  You may also submit by posting to our Ravelry fourm. If you would like to drop off a photo at the shop, be sure to leave contact information so we can contact you if you're the winner. Also, if you would like to be contacted by a means other than email, please send that information along with your photo. Please note, we plan to post your photo(s) to our blog and facebook and by sending us the photo we are assuming that you are giving us permission to do so.
