Three goods reasons to stop by

The first good reason is that if you know the secret password*, you'll get a free gift. The second good reason is that the 20% yarn sale is still on, and will be through February 13th. The third good reason is because just browsing is a good way to beat the winter blahs. When Maine's gray, cold, and covered with snow, it's good to come in and see all the colors in the store!

Have anything you'd like to see more of on this blog? Please leave a comment. What we'd love to see is pictures of your finished projects! You can send your pics to yardgoodscenter@gmail.com and we'll post them here.

Happy crafting, whatever you make!

*Oh, here's the secret password: "I didn't get the coupon from the newspaper. I saw it on the blog." Don't worry if you don't say it correctly. We're not strict.

No yarn from the store was used in the knitting of Scott's Norwegian sweater. Tsk tsk!
