Stitches Yarn Crawl
Join in on a yarn crawl in the Chicago area the week of August 13 through 22. If you are  going to Stitches Midwest, please plan on extending your stay to visit the stores. There are about 20 Chicagoland area stores participating in the crawl.

Participating stores are organizing fun events during this crawl. Each store will be giving out a store exclusive free pattern, a discount on yarn purchase and a chance to participate in a raffle for a gift basket worth $100. Yarn crawlers get the chance to participate in the grand prize raffle worth $500 if they visit 10 stores.

We have set up a Ravelry group – Chicagoland Yarn Crawl – for more information. Participating stores are listing their hours, directions and events in this group. I hope you get the chance to join us for our first crawl and visit some unique and interesting stores. Please help us spread the word by sharing this information with your friend.  If you have any questions please contact Joan Looi  at  jlooi1@ameritech.net
