Calling All Knitters ? Little Joe's Books ? A Bookstore for Kids ...

Little Joe?s Books & Katonah Yarn are
Calling All Knitters!
(and people who love hand-knit things)

Little Joe?s Books is entering a National Contest to decorate its store with knit items and yarn. Katonah Yarn says they?ll help ? will you? This contest is in celebration of a new children?s book called The Extra Yarn, by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen. It is a story about a girl who finds an extraordinary box of yarn and begins to knit sweaters for things that do not typically wear sweaters.

The National Contest challenges bookstores to decorate themselves in yarn, send in a picture and see if they win. (?Ambition and originality will be handsomely rewarded? says the flyer?which is attached for your review.)

We think this sounds like an extremely fun (and slightly goofy) event guaranteed to warm up these chilly days of February. Here?s what we ask you to do:

1) LEND us, for a few days, anything you?ve knit or that you know was hand-knit by others. You can drop them off at Little Joe?s Books or Katonah Yarn before February 25th. They will be returned in the first week of March. (We are hoping for hundreds of items?no item is too small!)

2) GIVE us your extra (left over) balls of yarn. We will donate them to the women?s prison afterwards.

3) COME TO A PARTY!

We will use these items to decorate Little Joe?s Books (imagine books dressed in children?s sweaters and balls of yarn hanging from the rafters.) Once we?re decorated, we?ll take some awesome pictures and send them in to the contest!

As our THANK YOU, Katonah Yarn and Little Joe?s Books invites all participants to a Knitting & Wine Party upstairs in Little Joe?s Books on Wednesday, February 29th from 6 ? 8pm.

If you plan to participate, please shoot us an email! And please call with any questions. You can drop off your knitted items at either Little Joe?s Books or Katonah Yarn. THANKS!
