Congrats to Mary Ann who was the winner of the $150 Name-It and Knit-It gift certificate! We’re sure she’ll be able to put it to good use!

During the contest, we had a total of 326 projects named and 292 projects completed! WOW!

Thanks also to Pam for all her help at the Yarn-Over and thanks to everyone who brought fantastic food to share.

We’ll be starting a new contest at the shop where you can earn discounts on purchases! Sound good!? (We thought so…) So watch for details on that in our e-mail newsletter and coming up here on the site very soon!
