August 5: Virtual YARNO!


Ahh, the internet has everything. Get your favorite ice cream and settle down for a game of digital Yarn-O. For those of you who are new to the guild, Yarn-O is a knitter’s version of bingo that we play every year at our ice cream social in August. Sadly, getting ice cream to you was not feasible, but we found a way to play Yarn-O online!

Meeting ID: 705 645 5484
Passcode: knitting

  • BEFORE THE MEETING, go to https://mfbc.us/v/fbbf05ac31cc858e1a07f97061e3 to get your bingo cards. You will be asked to enter your email. This info is not shared.
  • You will be emailed a link for your THREE cards for Yarn-O. We will be playing three rounds, so one card per round.
  • You can play online (click on a square to cross it out) or you may print out your cards and play manually.
Your card will look like this:

  • Every card is unique, and the cards are numbered in the upper left-hand corner.
  • Notice the “Free Yarn” square in the middle—this is your free square. I have hi-lited it in yellow for the newsletter, but it will have a white background on your card
At our Zoom guild meeting on August 5th:
  • On your device, join the Zoom call, and in another tab or window open your Yarn-O cards.(You may find it easier to open your cards on your phone while being on the Zoom call on another device.)
  • As terms are called out, ex out any on your card online by clicking on the square. Sorry, there are no column headings to help locate the term. Any word can be anywhere on your card—it’s hunt and peck.
  • If you win any round, the caller will ask for your card number to verify. Again, it’s in the upper left-hand corner.
We will play three rounds:
  • Two rounds where any completed row, column or diagonal will win.
  • The final round will be a blackout round.You must cross off all the squares to win.
Of course, there will be prizes for the winners!
