We know what happens …
You’ve promised a scarf, a shawl, a hat, or pair of socks, maybe a pair of mitts as Christmas gifts. Now it is December and you wish you had all that time from last summer to get started on your gift knitting!
We’ve got you covered! We are going to get you started months ahead with fantastic knitting projects. You will complete them in time to enjoy the Holidays without that panic of last minute gift making!
Not only will you have fun, but you can enter each month in a drawing to get a gift from Jorstad Creek! Participate in two activities each month, get them “stamped” (marked off by us), and we will enter you into a monthly drawing. Get your passport stamped with any 8 (or more) activities before the Holidays in December and we will enter you into a grand prize drawing.
Let’s work together to make the Holidays stress free and fun this year!
Get the offical hard copy of the passport at the Jorstad Creek Studio. You can also download a pdf version of the Countdown to December Passport Final Countdown Passport and print it out at home – tell the printer to print double-sided and flip on the short edge!
You must register your participation with us by sending us an email so we can enter you in the drawings.
Even if you are not able to drop into the Studio very often, you can earn “virtual stamps” by ordering one of the kits or other projects from the passport – just contact us at jorstadcreek@comcast.net. Passport holders enjoy special discounts on projects in addition to monthly specials that are open to all as we Countdown to December!
Here’s what you can look forward to for July.
