2016 Eat.Sleep.Knit Yarnathon
This is my second year participating in the Yarnathon and I'm so excited! I've learned so much! Last year, I was on the Woolrus team and we won! Got some pretty awesome prizes too!
This year's theme is Space and there are four teams - I'm happily a StarSheep!! (How cute is that icon?) - and there are sooooo many opportunities for prizes and earning points (stars!)
