A Message to Our Crawlers for 2020
February 3, 2021
The crawl change! This is a hard time for all of our shops and customers. In the spirit of “embracing change” we have an added “couch crawl” this year. Whether you are located in Florida, Maine, or Washington, you can participate in the online crawl! For passport holders, any purchases from our participating shops from May 28 through Sept. 6, 2021 will be eligible for the “stamp” in your passport. This includes online, pick-up, delivery, and in-person purchases, but you must make a purchase (and indicate you are a crawler) if you are crawling online. Stores will be stamping or distributing stickers which you will place in your passport. All patterns will be available via Ravelry code as in the past. Some shops may offer printed copies upon request. When and where possible, stamps/stickers will be distributed in person once shops reopen and travel is allowed again.
Once you have completed a region you may submit photos of your passport (front page plus stamped pages) at www.slowcrawl.com to be entered in the regional prize drawings.
We have a new #2021SYCExperienceChallenge this year and want to see your photos. We have prizes donated by Nomadic Knits, BlackSheep Fiber Emporium, and Kokomo Yarns this year. Every two weeks throughout the crawl we will draw a prize winner from your Facebook or Instagram posts completing an Experience Challenge. A list of experiences is in your passport. Make sure to tag it #2021SYCExperienceChallenge.
We included a Bonus Region for 2021. These shops may not have regular hours or a physical shop for customers to visit, but they are still your "local shop" online. In order to include them, we created a special Bonus Region. Order online from all of the Bonus Region shops and be entered in a special Bonus Region Drawing. Bonus Region shop stamps are not required to complete the rest of the crawl.
We are trying to support our small shops while still making this a fun experience for all of our crawlers and hope you enjoy the "couch crawl," Experience Challenge, and Bonus Region for 2021!
