SSK Virtual Marketplace 2020

It’s hard to believe that we’re not going to be together next week, but we hope you are all doing well and staying healthy.
As promised, we got together with our amazing vendors and put together a virtual marketplace! Joining us are some very talented artisans showcasing breed-specific fleece and natural roving, hand-dyed fibers and yarns, bags, spindles, spinning wheels, and lotions and soaps. Since you aren’t able to scour their booths in person, we’ve invited them to create videos highlighting their goods and special colorways, which will be hosted on the Super Summer Knitogether website (here!) and the Knitgirllls Youtube Channel. This marketplace will be going live on our original market date, Saturday, July 18th, at 8am central! 
 
Vendors participating with videos and/or special items include: 
 

To make the event extra fun for you, we have a scavenger hunt! You can enter for a chance to win a fantastic prize-pack of goods donated by some of our vendors. The prizes include a $75 gift certificate to spend at Miss Babs, a sock set from Old Rusted Chair a handmade project bag and enameled pin from Whimzees Stitches, a super skeiner from Akerworks, hand-dyed goodness from Woolens and Nosh and un Besito Fiber and more! To enter the drawing for the prize pack, fill out this Google Form with at least five of the special code words unique to the participating vendors, which you will find in their custom videos, in their social media, or their website. Our prize pack is open for all to participate! The winner will be randomly drawn by 7/22/20 and the winner notified. Prizes will be mailed directly from us and from the vendors who can safely reach their postal carrier.

SSK 2020 will be moving to 2021

SSK Attendees and Vendors, please check you emails for more information.

After close study of the local, national, and global situation, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Super Summer Knitogether. However, we plan on holding the event July 14-18, 2021 with this year’s announced teachers: Sadie Bellegarde, Francoise Danoy, Romi Hill, and Jillian Moreno.  We have confirmed the new dates with our teachers at this time and we’re grateful at how receptive and flexible they’ve been.

This was an hard decision to make and one that we didn’t make lightly.  SSK is something we look forward to every year – a bright, shiny spot in the calendar.  It’s a time when we know everyone will be surrounded by friends, new and old. We’ve told our attendees more than once that the whole point of SSK is to help adults connect and make new friends.  We consider you all a part of our family and sincerely regret having to make this decision. It was made with genuine concern for your health and well-being. If there is anything else we can do to help you or your business, or if you have any questions, please let us know.

We do plan on holding a virtual marketplace, and more details of that will be posted in July.  Stay safe everyone!
