Magazine PR Opportunity

Hi All,

I'm calling all knitters of unusual items required for a womens magazine spread. They are looking for the less obvious knitted goods like hot water bottle cover, cushion covers, teacosy, brooches, knitted animals etc. The deadline is 10am Tues 18th. You must provide a 300dpi image along with the price and stockist of where your item can be purchased. For more details or to submit a product please email me on info [@] shophandmade.co.uk.

Thanks

oh wow - this is exciting - I'll mail you! Locutus of Borg Meerkat springs to mind straight away - can't think why? Surely everyone knits him?

Hi Belinda,

Is it just knitted items or would crochet be ok too? I have the usual knitted scarves and bags in my shop, but different crochet items - brooches, keyrings, napkin rings, coasters...

Hi Sharon,

It is for knitted goods I'm sorry. It's now closed but please follow the blog and us on twitter for more opportunities.

We had a great response, thanks to everyone who submitted. There were 13 designers who submitted 37 different products that have now been passed to the magazine. Good Luck to all.

Thanks
Belinda
