Welcome to Kelowna Yarn & Needlecrafts Brown Bag Mystery Challenge 2024/25.

What is the Brown Bag Mystery challenge?

It is a way to stash bust so you can make room for new yarn!  Select 12 skeins from your stash.  No stash, no worries. We will have several mystery bags ready to buy in store.  Find 12 bags.  Put a skein in each bag.  Then on the 1st of each month grab a random bag and get making.

When will the Brown Bag Mystery challenge take place?

We will start September 2024 and end August 2025.

Who can play along?

Anyone can play along. For more information subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on Instagram, check out the website, or drop by the store at the beginning of each month to see what we are making.

Welcome to Kelowna Yarn & Needlecrafts WIP-GO 2023/24.

What is WIP-Go?

It is like BINGO, only you fill your numbered game card squares with works-in-progress (WIPs). At the beginning of the month 2 square numbers will be called and announced in the newsletter, on social media, on our website and in store.  During the month you work on completing the project (or portion of a project) you assigned to those squares. 

When will WIP-GO take place?

We will start September 2023 and end August 2024.

Who can play along?

Anyone!  You can download the WIP-GO card from our website or pick one up in person from the store.

What is a WIP?

Any knit, crochet, needlework, weaving, or spinning project that you have started or want to start.  If you don’t have 24 WIPs like me, then here are some ideas for filling our your WIP-GO card:

•       Break a large project down into smaller pieces.
•       Try a new technique.
•       Take a class.
•       Pick a project from a magazine or book.
•       Start a kit from your stash.
•       Finishing.
•       Organize your stash.
•       Assign each square a yarn in your stash to use.

How do you get started?

Print a copy of the WIP-GO card from our website or pick up a paper copy from the store.

Write in your WIPs in the 24 squares, the centre is free.

Read the newsletter, follow us on Instagram, check out the website, or drop by the store at the beginning of each month to see which squares we are tackling.  Mark them on your card however you like. 

Take before and after pictures to share with us on Instagram #KYNWIPGO or in person.  Once you finish a project be sure to tag us #KYNFO
