How it works: (the important information)
Each month's qualifying products will be announced at the shop, via e-mail newsletter, and on this website. The membership discount is only good on the qualifying products, during the month in which they are featured. (You can't get 15% off of February's supplies on March 1st, for example.)
 
Ravelry Group

ONLINE CLUB MEMBERS:
For each completed pair of mittens, e-mail us a picture and you'll receive an additional 5% off your next purchase. (That would make your mitten club discount 20% instead of 15%.)

BRICK-AND-MORTAR CLUB MEMBERS:
There is no deadline for completing each month's mittens other than December 31, 2009. Anytime you bring in your completed pair of mittens - one month or three months or six months later - you get a prize. No prizes for the '08-'09 club will be given after December 31, 2009.
 
Modifications are allowed, to a certain point. The idea is to try a variety of patterns, yarn weights, needle styles, and knitting techniques. However, if you would like to use a different yarn with the same pattern, or modify the thumb or cuff of a pattern, allowances will be made - final decision as to whether or not you qualify rests with Shelly. :o)
