We have an exciting opportunity for all you budding designers and all around talented knitters & crocheters out there.
We are going to conduct a scarf design contest.
Here's the low down:
- Design a scarf using a yarn currently carried at Yarntopia. The yarn can come from your stash but it must be a currently stocked yarn.
- This must be an original design, any scarf that looks like a known pattern will be eliminated from the contest.
- We want knit & crochet designs for all seasons.
- Write the pattern (a template will be available).
- Bring the scarf to the store where it will be on display.
- Send the pattern to us in a Word document.
- Keep your project a secret from everyone here until you bring it in finished.
- We will display the scarves (no names attached) and allow a time for voting to happen both online and in the store.
- At the end of the prescribed period of time, we will stop and tabulate the votes.
- The number one vote getter will receive a Yarntopia gift certificate and their scarf will be on the cover of a scarf booklet we are going to self publish.
Amy & I will not be voting, but we will each have a scarf in the book.
Let your imagination go wild - knit, crochet, felt, lace, cotton, silk, use multiple yarns - do something wild - most of all, have fun!
Come to the store beginning Monday, May 11th and pick up the contest rules and all the information you will need to get started.
