GRAND PRIZE DRAWS BEGIN!
Monday, November 22, 2021 – Grand Prize Draws Begin!
Hello to You on this Monday afternoon,
We are thrilled to let you know that the time has arrived for us to start our Grand Prize Draws!! HOW EXCITING!!!
Here’s how it will work…Starting this week, for the next 5 weeks, we will be drawing both a Weekly Prize Winner from that weeks entries AND also one Grand Prize Winner from ALL the ballots collected up until the week of that Draw. For those that don’t win the weekly Draw, your ballot will stay in the running for the next Grand Prize Draw. The Draws take place at close of business on Saturdays.
The Grand Prize Winner for this week will win…
Knit Picks Options
Rainbow Wood
Interchangeable Set
(4¾” tips; reg. $92.98)
The weekly prize Winner will still be able to choose their gift from our selection.
In this week’s email, we are featuring THREE projects that will earn you a BONUS BALLOT, in addition to a regular ballot, thus increasing your chances of winning this week’s Draw. If you purchase more than one featured project, you will get a bonus ballot with EACH featured project purchase.
EXCITING NEWS…
If that wasn’t exciting enough, we have even more news to share….have you heard of the Forest City Knit Girls?
“We are the Forest City Knit Girls from London, Ontario, and this is a podcast about what we love to do the most…knitting! And all things related to knitting!!” – quoted from Forest City Knit Girls
Meet June, Patty & Karri, two sisters and one good friend that comprise this knitting podcast trio.
(from L to R: June, Karri, Patty; picture from Episode 52)
Karri, June & Patty, aka the Forest City Knit Girls, will be filming a Podcast from London Yarns!! They are coming to the store tomorrow night, Tuesday, November 23 to film after hours. Janet & Carol will be in the store to watch and support.
MAYBE they will even coax Janet into the spotlight?!?! Would you like to see Janet on camera, knitting one of her latest projects and sharing her insights along with the Girls???? If so, be sure to let her know and add your voice to the encouragement, ‘Go Janet, Go!’
The Podcast from London Yarns will air on Saturday, November 27th on the Forest City Knit Girls YouTube Channel and will be available to view after that date as well.
Take a peek at some of their previous Podcasts (52 Episodes so far) here: Forest City Knit Girls YouTube Channel
Check them out on Instagram & also their Ravelry Group.

A Fall Favorite!
There's something so comforting about wearing a ruana. We often joke it's like wearing a secret blanket. The side openings are a great asset to help regulate body temperature so that you don’t get overheated! The long panels allow for huggable warmth and flow beautifully with any outfit. It's a piece you can dress up or down and still feel stylish and comfortably warm.
Cables and bobbles flow up the center columns of this layering piece, bordered by garter stitch and finished with an I-cord edging.
Approx. 26 (30, 34)" wide x 32" long down center back (not including edging)
Note: Fronts are 4" shorter than back.

“I chose to be inspired by the Lovikka mittens, the Sami people of Lapland and also the color, nature and culture of Lapland. Therefore I choose to call these socks Lapland socks. Some might think this isn’t a correct name, but this is how I’ve interpreted things. You can call them whatever you want as long as you let them warm your feet.” – quoted from the Ravelry page
