Hey everyone! This is awesome! :D
The TTC Knitalong!
If you live in/near Toronto and haven’t got plans yet for Saturday August 22, here’s a yarn-filled day of adventure! I just found out about this by chance today and have never participated before, but I thought it is the most AWESOME idea and registered right away :D
You can find out more about how it works here. But basically, people travel in teams on different routes to visit different yarn stores in the city, knitting (and crocheting too I’m sure!), shopping, eating, and making new friends :D I also hear that there will be tote bags with knitting/yarn swag, discounts and prizes. AND!! Proceeds from the registration fee go to Sistering, a fantastic women-centered agency that is very close to my heart. Registration costs $15 and it starts today, and several teams are full already, so if you’re interested register for a spot soon!
It will be great to meet you there :) Have a great week, everyone!
We have a Summer’s Last Blast Yarn Shop Crawl here in St. Louis every end of July. Participants can download a “passport” to be stamped at every shop on the list over four days or so. Passports get turned in at the last shop you visit and there are drawings for prizes. All the shops (mostly) have a free pattern to give away. I do the crochet pattern for our shop! :)
Nooooooooooooooo I’m not in Toronto anymore when this is happening! All of the sad :(
so sad! :( i hope they will soon come up with similar events where you are!
that sounds awesome Amy! i hope there will be some free patterns at the shops we visit :D
