July will be Wisconsin month here on America's Knitting. I'm excited to get back to our states, after a little break. It should be fun. I admit to not knowing a heck of a lot about Wisconsin.....but by the end of July I will know a whole lot more. I invite all Wisconsin yarn shops, knitters, designers and yarn companies to contact me and participate in our month long look at this great state. You may be wondering how you participate - you can take my home page blog area (here) and fill it with your photos. They could be photos of your LYS, a trip through Wisconsin, or you could send in photos of your knitting for our projects page if you live in Wisconsin. The site is yours all month long. Send in Wisconsin events for me to post. Just send it in and I'll do all the work.
I hope you pop onto our spotlight page and read all about WEBS, America's Yarn Store. What a wonderful story. I love doing the spotlights and highlighting the wonderful yarn shops around the country. I often times spotlight different designers, authors, and yarn companies too. Take a look through our archives to see all the spotlights done in the past.
If you have a trip planned, whether you are flying, taking the train, or driving. We'd all love to share in your journey this summer. Write a few lines and send in photos. We want to see the yarn shops you visit, the yarn you buy and what your working on too.
Also, if you happen to attend your local Stitch N Pitch event this summer and want to cover that as well - take your camera and send in photos and I'll post it right here. I love summer and all it holds! I look forward to hearing from all of you~
Fondly,
Mary*
