An annual Portland experience, the Rose City Yarn Crawl is a four-day event for knitters to explore the many knitting Shops in and around Portland. 2012 marks our third year of celebrating Portland as a yarn and knitting destination.

Join us from 10 am to 6 pm on March 1st – 4th for your chance to win one of 20 Prize Baskets and explore all nineteen participating Shops. In addition to offering the chance to win a prize basket, each shop will also offer Rose City Yarn Crawl participants a special free pattern inspired by the City of Roses.

By popular request (from adults watching kids at School’s Out, SCRAP’s In make awesome projects), SCRAP is offering all ages workshops! Participants 12 and over may attend on their own, while kids 11 and younger may attend with a grown-up participant. Classes are one hour and will include an introduction to SCRAP as a resource, as well as all the materials needed to make the project at hand.
