I’m currently putting together a new donation incentive package, and I want to make this a grand one!

The theme will be spinning. I already have a few items, and now I’d like to put out a call for contributions from fiber retailers out there. If you have something spinning-related you’d like to contribute, or if you would like to offer a discount to my listeners, I’d love to hear from you. You can either email me at elise@knitmisadventures.com, or send a message on Ravelry. If you’d like to send a prize to add to the package, be sure to include your business card, brochure, or any promotional material to spread the word about your shop!

Thanks in advance, and be sure to pass the word to any one you know who might be interested in the exposure!
