Summer Blitz Was a Blast!

Thank you to everyone who made this year's Blitz extra fun!

September Project Finish Challenge!

This month we are providing an extra incentive to finish projects that may have been put in “timeout.” We all have them – one sock without a match, a sweater that just needs side seams or sleeves, colorwork that was set aside…

Pull out those projects that long to be finished, and not forgotten, bring them in to show us what you'll be working on, and then finish them up!

Each finished project will earn an entry ticket for one of five spectacular prizes! There will also be a runner-up drawing of all entries for one of three Wooly Bully logo project bags.

Project Finish Challenge: Prizes & Details

Prizes:

• Della Q project bag
• Wooly Bully yarn bowl
• $50 gift certificate
• Neck light
• Book of your choice from the shop
• Runner up – all entry tickets will be pooled and drawn for one of three “Wooly Bully” drawstring project bags.

Challenge details:

• Must bring in (or email with photos) the unfinished project(s) before finishing, so we can see and photograph that it's not finished.
• Show or send them all at once, or as you decide what you might like to finish.
• An unfinished project can be one that just needs the finishing work – like seaming or weaving in ends – or more!
• Once finished, bring the item into the shop to show! No later than 5:00 PM Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The finished project will earn a raffle ticket to be placed in the prize box of your choice.
• The unfinished project can be knit or crocheted in yarn not from our shop!
• If you both start and finish a project in September, we would prefer it's with yarn from our shop.
• Drawing for prizes will be held October 1! (Need not be present to win.)
