Episode 69: Through the Magic of Technology
We still have some unclaimed prizes from our Prize-A-Palooza giveaway (to celebrate 2000 members in our Ravelry Group). Please check our Episode 66 Blogpost to see if you won.
Our Mother Bear KAL/CAL will officially begin July 1. You will have until August 31 to post pictures of any bears completed in 2014 to our FO thread to be eligible to win some great prizes. Please go to the Mother Bear Website to purchase your knitted or crocheted bear pattern.
- A big THANK-YOU to tmkr for her planned generous donation of $1 per bear to the Mother Bear Project for each bear completed for our KAL!
- Jan in British Columbia, Canada gifted a Mother Bear pattern to an 83-year-old knitter friend. This friend has since knitted 55 bears since January! Wow.
- We have received prize donations from Brenda Castiel (goodstuff on Ravelry) Designs and Estella Haines (onemorerowplease on Ravelry) designs for the KAL.
You have until June 15th to enter to win this skein of Dream in Color Jilly. You can enter here.
Tracie will be attending Spinning at the Winery at the Retzlaff Winery in Livermore, CA on June 7th. Rumor has it that DH Ryan will be attending this event with her.
