Thank You!

A big thank you to everyone who participated in making this year's shop hop a success! We hope you all had as much fun as we did. Good luck to everyone who visited all 11 shops and turned in their entry for the prize drawing. The winners will be posted in a week or two.

Final Day!

It's the last day of the 2009 Shop Hop, so make sure you get all of the stamps and turn in your passport to be eligible for the prize drawing.

Good luck!

Day One Report

I know that at least 3 people have turned in completed passports after just one day! And everyone seems to be having fun. Two days left!

Start your engines! Or get on the bus...

The shop hop starts tomorrow at 10am sharp! We're all ready with our best yarn and project ideas.
Go to all eleven shops, get your passport stamped, and turn it in (signed and addressed!) at the last shop you visit to become eligible for the drawing and a chance to win a $400 First Prize or a $250 Second Prize gift certificate for the participating shop of your choice.

Are You Ready?

It's the final countdown...the hop starts Friday. Get your friends together and plan your trip through the South Bay and Monterey Bay areas. The shops are ready with their patterns and yarn. We can't wait!

Get your map and check out the pattern gallery.

Check out the Gallery pictures

Photos of the afghan squares are being posted almost daily now! Take a look at the Gallery and see what we've got so far.

Remember, there are knit & crochet squares that can be combined in a myriad of ways. Plus, each shop has an animal fiber and non-animal fiber that the squares have been designed for.

The Countdown Begins

Well, it's September and we're just a few weeks away from the shop hop now. Time to round up your friends and start planning your route. You can download the "official" map on the Map page.

You can probably visit all of the stores in one day, but why not spread it out and take your time browsing through each shop's variety of yarns and other products. There's no prize for being the first one finished!
