March Newsletter

[Knitty City]

The light is back!  Daylight Savings Time arrived yesterday and that means spring is just around the corner.  

So, we were delighted to get word from Anna Hrachovec announcing her new contest for Tiny Baby Bunnies, complete with a free baby bunny pattern.  Knit up as many as you like and show her what your bunnies are doing by uploading your photos to Mochimoch Friends Flickr Group with the tag: bunnycontest12.  Three lucky winners will each receive a basket full of Koigu yarn.  

Inspired by Anna, the bunny wrangler, Knitty City will be holding our own bunny contest.  Knit, crochet, or felt your own bunny(s) or bunny diorama to be displayed in the Knitty City window for all of April.  We will award our 3 favorite projects with gift cards to Knitty City ($50 for first prize, $25 for second prize, and $15 for third prize).  All participants will receive a little something extra just for entering their submissions.
