It’s that time of year again! Seeing as the end of the world hasn’t yet started, I’m thinking it’s safe to say there will be a 2013. Yes, I know the year isn’t over yet, but seeing as I’ve heard dates ranging throughout the entire year as the end of the world, I’m going to take my chance! That being said, I’m putting the finishing touches on the next It Takes balls To Knit … Scarves Calendar for 2013!
There are a few changes for the next calendar though. The biggest change will be that ALL the models will be male. Yup, you heard right. There will be 13 male models modeling a scarf and not much else for next year’s calendar. Like last year, the calendar will start in December of 2012 – hence the 13 models. That also means that partial proceeds from the sale of the calendars will go to Prostate Cancer Research.
The calendar will be slightly smaller this year, but not by much. This year’s calendars will be approximately 11″ x 14″ when folded and will open out to 14″ x 22″. The size reduction is to facilitate easier and less expensive shipping. This was a lesson learned from the first year’s calendars.
Patterns will be included for ALL the scarves this year, on the actual calendar pages!
If you ordered a calendar last year, you will get a $5 rebate when you place an order for this year’s calendar. This is to show that I appreciate your continued support. Simply put “2nd time customer” in the comments section on the order form.
The calendars will start shipping November 15th, but possibly sooner. I will keep you posted on that.
