2016 NatCroMo Blog Tour

Invitation

Crochet-Friendly Local Yarn Store (LYS) Owners, you are invited to participate in Crochetville’s fourth annual blog tour in March 2016 in honor of National Crochet Month.

In the past, we have exclusively focused on crochet designers. We are excited to expand the blog tour quite a bit for 2016. Every day of March 2016, the blog tour will feature individual posts promoting:

  • 3 crochet designers
  • 1 crochet-friendly LYS
  • 1 yarn company
  • 1 daily giveaway

Information We’ll Need from You

We will need you to provide us with up to 5 photos and a ready-to-publish blog post promoting the ways in which your LYS is crochet-friendly and what you do to make crocheters feel welcome and that they are valued customers.

Promotional Efforts
