AND THE WINNERS ARE:

Shop Hop 2013 is in the books and the local yarn shop owners would like to thank you for your participation in our event.  It is important that you support LOCAL small business owners as it is difficult for us to compete with big box stores and on-line sellers that don't have the overhead we do.  We carry a high quality product and offer classes and customer service, which is important if you are learning or a seasoned knitter or crocheter.  Please continue to think of us for your crafting needs so that we will be here to help you for a long time to come.  You can't get help off the internet or at the big box stores.  That is what we are here for but can only do it with your help.  Now, off the soapbox and on to the important stuff.

The grand prize winner of $900.00 in shop gift certificates is:

                      ERENDIRA BRUMLEY
 
She will be enjoying the fruits of her effort for many months to come.  Just think of the beautiful garments, hats, shawls, socks, cowls and more that she can make.  Congratulations, Eren.
