ENTER YOUR GOOD YARN TODAY!
What's Your "Good Yarn"?
Every knitter has a story. It could be the story of how he or she started knitting, the story of a project gone awry, or the perfect knitted object that has been cherished in the family for years. Anyone of any age who knits, crochets, weaves or otherwise uses yarn in their projects is encouraged to submit their "good yarn" or experience with yarn to the "Good Yarn Competition" sponsored by the Janesville Area Stitch 'n Bitch (SnB) and Stitches 'n Books (SnBII). Prizes will be awarded and entrants will receive a free copy of the very best "yarns". Entrants are encouraged to submit their stories supplying their name, age, address, phone and e-mail by Saturday, June 30, 2007. Photos of the disasters are also welcome.

Entries may be sent to:
Good Yarn Competition
