What to knit...what to knit? WHAT TO KNIT! (And a chance to win a $250 Gift Certificate.)

For the past few months, YarnMartians have been working on a new site that we know is going to be a bit hit with our knitters. It's called, "What To Knit," and it's almost ready to launch. Over the next few days we'll be putting the finishing touches on it, testing the pants off it, and generally finding and squashing those nasty little bugs that creep around on websites.

We're really excited about our newest addition to the Yarnmarket family of services, and so are our colleagues in the industry. Over the past weekend we showed the new site to attendees of the TNNA and, to a man (er, woman) they exclaimed, "I love it!"

Okay...some just said, "It's fantastic! When can I use it?" but a lot of them expressed a deep and enduring emotion for the site they know will bring them love and inspiration for years to come.

What to Knit (or WTK) is a free service (of course!) that has thousands of projects that can be easily searched using a variety of criteria:
Size
Yarn Brand
Yarn Manufacturer
Skill Level
Gauge
Designer
Magazine it was in
Cost

It makes searching for a project really quick and easy. You'll never again be compelled to weep, "Oh, woe is me! I don't know what to knit!"

One of the best things about What To Knit is that once you've found a project you like you'll be able to order everything you need to complete it -- with just a single click. And, if there's something on the shopping list you don't need, you can just "unclick" it to remove it from the project.

We'll ship it out with the same super-fast service as all our other YarnMarket, BargainYARNS and YarnMerchant orders.

I can't wait to announce that it's open. But in the meantime, you'll want to visit our landing page at www.whattoknit.com and sign up for the premiere. Then, we'll let you know as soon as it's live.

Everyone who signs up is eligible to win a Gift Certificate of up to $250 to create the Project of their choice.

Please visit our new site, and be sure to "Like" us on Facebook!
