Squidgy parcels

Kate | General | 5 Comments

I have the BEST job. I am officially Receiver Of The Yarns and all yarn donations for The Inside Loop come to my house. As you can imagine, it’s very hard not to spend all day fondling the yarny parcels that are starting to arrive. Plus I can’t just sneak them into my own stash, or Diane will attack me with dpns. Just look at the gorgeousness that arrived yesterday:

Cherry Tree Hill Supersock

Cherry Tree Hill Suri Lace

Cherry Tree Hill Supersock and Suri Lace, both available from The Woolly Workshop. *drools*

If you would like the chance to win yarns like these, you need to join our Yahoo! Group. Everyone that joins the group prior to the launch of Issue 1 will go into the Big Launch Prize Draw, to be drawn once the issue is live. :-D

Submissions are open for Issue One which will launch in February. We’re looking for layerable spring knits, small accessories and inspiring articles.

Click on the link at the top of the page to read the submission guidelines, and of course, if you have any more questions just let us know!

We’re very pleased to be able to offer a nice remuneration package thanks to our supportive sponsors :-)

Welcome to The Inside Loop, the online magazine dedicated exclusively to knitting and other fibre arts in the United Kingdom.

We have a wonderfully rich culture and heritage of wool and fibre arts here in the UK. Long-established quality yarn companies, along with an expanding number of talented dyers and artisans, are inspiring British knitters to create beautiful and original projects.

The Inside Loop brings you patterns which particularly showcase high quality yarns from the UK, along with features and articles about small businesses, designers and knitters, proving that the art of working with yarn is flourishing just as strongly here in the UK as it is in any other part of the world.

We are very excited about our first issue, set for publication in February 2008, and invite you to join us in the lead-up to the big launch. To receive updates and scoops on what’s happening at the publishing desk click here to join the Yahoo mailing list. Members will be entered into a prize draw, with a chance to win fabulous yarns and special offers from our sponsors.
