RSS for Daily FindKnitters can go nuts May 18-20 during the annual LYS (Local Yarn Shop) Tour. Join the yarn crawl to more than 20 shops around Puget Sound and score freebies and more. (Visit www.lystour.com for all participating shops and a map.)
Every shop will give away a one-skein project pattern along with deals on yarn, special classes and other incentives. A few stops not to miss:
• Village Yarn & Tea Shop, Shoreline: Enjoy tea and fresh-baked scones.
• So Much Yarn, Belltown: Sign up for a workshop with knitter extraordinaire Chris Bylsma.
• Hilltop Yarn and Needlepoint Shop, Queen Anne: Save 40 percent off yarns and accessories during their sidewalk sale.
Hardcore fiberphiles who visit all 20 shops and have their "passport" stamped at each one will be entered in a raffle to win a $400 gift certificate.
