Planning on attending the Craft Yarn Council of America’s Knit-Out and Crochet in Minnesota on February 16 and 17, 2008? Deeply discounted hotel & travel arrangements are available.
Because of the enormous enthusiasm for Knit-Out, The Craft Yarn Council of America (CYCA), working with Country Inns & Suites, has arranged for a special Knit-Out hotel package with deeply discounted room rates.
A standard room with two queen-size beds is priced at $95. A King Suite room with a king-size bed is $105.
The hotel has a free breakfast and is within walking distance of the Mall. It is the closest hotel to the Mall and also provides free shuttle service, as well. In addition, Knit-Out visitors will receive a goodie bag with a Mall of America discount coupon book and the hotel is setting up a private V.I.P. lounge with light refreshments where crocheters and knitters can gather to stitch and chat 24/7. Special rates apply for a limited block of rooms, so be sure to book early.
Visit the hotel web site and follow the special "Knit-Out" link to make reservations. You also can call the hotel directly for a reservation at 952-854-5555 and ask for the Knit Out group rate or Central Reservations at 1-800-456-4000.
Special Northwest Airline Discount - US & Canada Working with Northwest Airlines, CYCA has arranged a Knit-Out package that offers an additional 5-7% discount. (NOTE: Not all fares qualify for a discount.) Reservations can be made either online or by calling the Airline directly.
For online registration, log onto NWA’s website. Complete the information as requested on the screen and at the bottom of the page when asked for E-Cert fare, electronic voucher or meeting agreement, select meeting agreement and enter WorldFile # NYVFR.
