WWKIP PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT

Inspired by the Yarn Harlot, we are having a PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT as part of New Brunswick's celebration of Worldwide Knit in Public Day!

Between now and June 14, take photos of any work in progress with / at the clues listed below (please use the same WIP for all photos).

Bring the photos on your camera (or printed) with you on June 14 and earn points for each clue you find. All clues are worth one point except where indicated.

Optional (but fun!): Post your photos on flickr and tag them with "NBKIP2008" so we can find them easily. Even better, tag them with NBKIP2008 and send them to our Yarns on York group!

Prizes will be awarded at Singer on Saturday, June 14 at 3:00 p.m. Bring your photos in early that day, along with your summary of your success (how many photos, how many points) so we can award without delay.

If you aren't able to be in Fredericton on June 14 but would still like to play along, let us know and please post your photos on flickr. We will be sure to consider you!

Please remember-- If you'd like to get a photo with someone who is on the job, remember that their customers come first. Be patient and, if necessary, return at another time.

Questions or comments, leave a comment send us an email at yarnsonyork@gmail.com.

Good luck and have fun!
