Hey Everyone!

I would like post some info on a great yarn club with a great name that is currently open for enrollment! Mean Girls Yarn Club!! How awesome is that name!??!?! It is affordable(in my opinion) and looks like you get a great amount of yarn for the money! Here is some of the roolz from the website but see the link below for all the details and more info on the club itself! When you sign up, list list the name of me and/or my videocast, Knittin on the Fly, in the "special instructions to the seller". To be honest, she is doing a promotional drawing for podcasters, bloggers, etc, that we get an entry into a drawing for a skein of yarn or for a membership. Here is the link if you are a blogger, podcaster, videocaster, etc. So go check it out and see if you wanna join... I might join anyway... and give away the stuff, if I'd be lucky enough to win! :) Enjoy!!!!

Here is the direct link:

1. First and foremost…NO WANKING ALLOWED!
2. Email La or Tareshen aka The Evil Adminion, and in 50 words or less inform us of your decision.
3. We’ll put the word out to your fellow members that there’s an unloved, neglected, ABUSED skein of MGYC yarn out there in need of a good home.
4. We’ll put the abandoner/adopter in touch with each other, and you all can iron out all the payment/shipping details to your little black hearts’ content.
5. If, in the unlikely event that no one wants your castoff, you can do with it what you will, but only after 6 months.
6. If all else fails, see rule #1.
