Hello, and welcome to the 2008 State of the Knitgrrl Survey! Thanks for taking time to answer some questions about my readers. This survey is designed to help me continue to bring you the finest knitting and needlework-related content, books, products and more. Your personal information will not be shared with anyone, and you won't be added to any mailing lists. (Though, if you want to, the Knitgrrl mailing list signup is located on knitgrrl.com, in the right sidebar)

Thanks again and good luck winning the 2008 club membership!

14. Which fiber shows have you attended in the past? (i.e. Rhinebeck, Maryland, SOAR, local shows)

16. Which of my books have you read?


17. Which books would you most recommend to others? (Choose up to three answers)

24. If the Knitgrrl Show accepted brief ads or sponsorship from yarn companies or other fiber-related businesses, what would you think?

Thanks again and good luck on winning the drawing!
