Blog buttons and Ravatars
The lovely and talented Blueswirly has created a set of blog buttons and ravatars you can use to help us get the word out about the Yarn Party. Please upload these to your own server if you plan on posting to your blog or website. You'll need to download the image you wish to use as a Ravatar to your own computer first, then upload it to your Ravelry profile. You can find instructions for that here. Enjoy!
Don't forget that tomorrow (2/21) is the last day to enter our photo contest! We really want to see your pics. You don't need to be a professional photographer and you don't even need to attend the Yarn Party to win, but of course we hope you do!

Do you have some fun sheepy photos, or some pretty photos of your knitting or spinning stash? If it's something you'd like to share so we can again have rad goodies for sale to support the yarn party, please send in your photos, pronto! You can even win prizes!!
