New Contest
Summer Special Six for Six
- Qualifying pieces for this contest are long-sleeved sweaters, vests and socks that would fit a six year-old child. Any combination of these pieces qualifies. The chest measurement for sweaters and vests is at least 26" and the heel to toe length for socks is 6".
- You can follow any of these suggested patterns or choose your own, so long as it provides full coverage and closure. Worsted weight or bulky weight yarns are fine! Please remember we strive for warmth and durability.
- All six pieces must be sent together in one box to Warm Woolies, 5572 E. Mansfield Ave., Denver, CO 80237. Pieces must be received by September 21, 2009, the last day of summer.
- Prizes, consisting of new yarn, needles, patterns and books, will be mailed the last week of September.
- Good luck and have fun!
10 for 10 by 2010
- We had so much fun with last year’s project we decided to do another! This year we’re focusing on larger sizes for kids ages 10 through 16 -- “10 for 10 by 2010”
- The 10 for 10 by 2010 contest will run from January 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009, and will include pieces received during that time.
- Every knitter who submits 10 qualifying pieces during the contest period will win a prize. One prize per person, please.
- For purposes of this contest, qualifying pieces include: sweaters and pairs of socks that would fit a child ten years old or older.
- Of the 10 pieces, at least 3 need to be sweaters. Please use this chart for sweater sizes: http://www.yarnstandards.com/childsize.html. Remember, sweaters need to provide full coverage and closure. Socks need to measure at least 10” from the back of the heel to the tip of the toe.
