Would you like the opportunity to win some free yarn?
Are you a knitter, crocheter or quilter of color (i.e., African, Asian, Latina, Hispanic, Arabic, etc. American)?

Please take the time to fill out a survey. It's a basic survey asking about how you came to be a knitter, crocheter, artist, etc. and what your family history is/was like with the arts. All information will be kept confidential. Out of all entries, 1 winner will be chosen for free sock yarn! So, if you have 5 minutes to spare, take the quiz and take the chance to earn some free sock yarn in the process! For more information, contact Anna at hellokitty@mail.twu.edu.
