Contest

Every year we have a different theme for our contest. This year our theme is “CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS”. We know that you
are all very creative and everyone and anyone can knit a Christmas Stocking. Everyone should enter this contest.

This year we ask that everyone enter only
1 stocking per person since we know that “Everyone” will be entering this
contest!! Remember you will be the judges! We will have a Gift Certificate for the first, second, and third place winners.

Don’t forget our “
Style Show” on Friday night at the banquet. We have a drawing for this also. Everyone should wear
something they have knit to the banquet, if you recall, we just pick you out and have you tell us about the knitwear your
created!
