The next edition of Yarnival, Volume 1, Issue 11 will be edited by yours truly.
Don’t remember what Yarnival! is?
It’s this Internet thing called a Blog Carnival, which is an online compilation of very cool blog entries. Of course, Yarnival! centers around knitting and fiber pursuits and it’s a new way for us to read and get to know different blogs. I, for one, seem to be stuck in my same bloglines rut. Not that I don’t have excellent blogs listed on my bloglines, but there are tons of new blogs out there and I’ve been too lazy to seek them out. YARNIVAL will help us all! Anyone, regardless of the length of time they’ve been blogging or the popularity of their blog, can submit a post to Yarnival. The editor for that edition will choose which ones to include and it will be posted on a certain day of the month. You can read more about Eve’s vision here.
To submit a blog post, USE THE SUBMISSION FORM. DO NOT leave your submission in the comments. DO NOT email me your submissions. SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY FORM ONLY. The deadline to submit is AUGUST 1st. The issue will appear on this blog AUGUST 15th.
Remember, ANYONE can submit, regardless of how long they’ve been blogging or how long they’ve been involved with the fiber arts. Send in your best blog post! It can be funny, sad, educational – I don’t care – as long as it’s entertaining, well written, interesting and has something to do with the fiber arts. GO FOR IT! What have you got to lose?
YARNIVAL people. YARNIVAL!
PS – If you’d like to edit a future edition of Yarnival!, please contact Eve at her blog, Needle Exchange.
And I thought she was on vacation!
I submitted!
I admire you for taking on Yarnival again. It’s a lot of work! Hope you get some great submissions.
Can you link us to previous Yarnival editions?
Also, can we submit more than one post to Yarnival?
This is very exciting as only recently I found out about the concept of a blog carnival. Does that make me a bit late on the scene? Well probably but that’s not unusual.
So Cara, is the idea that we can submit any blog post we’ve written in the past or should it be a current one written specifically for this edition?
Cara, I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind emailing me privately? I’d like your suggestion on ‘must visit’ NYC yarns stores. Thanks!
I have never heard of Yarnival. What an exciting concept. I find new blogs to read by reading those that are posted on others’ blogs. This would be a wonderful gift.

I sent a humorous post. 🙂
