Amigurumi Contest at Stash!

Stash will have a Amigurumi contest in June!  I'm not sure if you are aware, but I love knitting Amigurumi and anything sweet and fun!  If you look around the shop you are sure to find a little friend in almost every corner.  Summer is the perfect time to knit or crochet one for yourself.  In any project you are sure to learn a new technique that you can use in future projects. 

Now for the rules:

Amigurumi: The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.[1]Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features.

Knit or crochet amigurumi contest rules:

1. You may use any amigurumi book or single pattern for your project. You may also make up your own amigurumi using the pictures in your head.

2. Supplies for your amigurumi must be purchased at Stash to be entered in the contest. Upon purchasing your supplies, please let us know you would like to participate in the contest and we will help you fill out a registration form, which will include your pattern source, project supplies, and receipt of purchase

3. The final day to turn in your amigurumi will be 4:00 p.m. Monday, June 20th…NO EXCEPTIONS. Your amigurumi will be tagged with a number to identify for voting. Your Amigurumi will be returned to you after the contest. Please pick up your Amigurumi by July 10th.

4. You will receive a coupon for 15% off your next yarn purchase at Stash when you bring in your amigurumi.

5. All Amigurumi will be on display at Stash, on the Blog, and on Facebook starting Monday, June 20th thru Monday, June 27th.

You get a chance to vote, and be entered in the "voting" drawing each time you make a purchase during the voting period.

8. The winners of the Amigurumi contest will be announced at the Needle Arts Night on Thursday, June 30th. You do not need to be present to win, winners will be posted on the Stash Blog and Facebook.
