About the Windy City Knitting Guild Newsletter
The WCKG Newsletter is written by members for members. It is published on a monthly basis, and mailed to all current members. We also make back issues of the newsletter available to members via our website.
Who may submit articles
Any WCKG member can submit articles, and all members are strongly encouraged to contribute. Chicagoland knit shop owners are also welcome to submit their shop news on a monthly basis.
How to submit articles
Articles may be submitted via email here. All authors should proof and edit their articles prior to submission. The article can be in the body of the email, or it can be sent as a Word, .txt or .rtf attachment.
Deadline for Submissions
The deadline for all newsletter submissions is no later than 5:00 pm on the 27th of every month.
What we like to publish
We love reviews of books, software, shops, websites, and products for knitters. We like articles that describe knitting techniques or tips. We love to know what knitting events are happening in the Chicago area, whether it’s a knitting-themed play or a fiber fair. If you’ve attended a knitting event recently or have a story about your adventures in knitting, tell us about it!
What we don’t publish
We don’t publish copyrighted material, unless the submitter has received permission to do so from the original author. This includes material taken directly from other newsletters, websites, or any other published source. If you want to submit information that is copyrighted, either get permission from the author to reprint it, or write about it in your own words and provide a reference to the original source.
Advertisements and shop news
The WCKG Newsletter does not accept paid advertisements. However, independent yarn stores in the Chicagoland area are encouraged to submit shop news for inclusion in the newsletter. Shop news should be emailed here
