🧶 Saturday question...

If you walked into Knit Ewe Together today with absolutely NO project planned and we told you:

 

"Pick any yarn in the store and we'll find you something to make with it."

 

Where are you heading first? ๐Ÿ‘€

 

Sock yarn?

Hand-dyed?

The local yarn wall?

Something ridiculously soft?

Or straight toward the prettiest color you can find with absolutely no concern for what you're going to make? ๐Ÿ˜‚

 

Tell us in the comments โ€” what yarn gets you every time?

👯‍♀️🧶 Everything is more fun with a yarn friend!

Our Bring a Friend Summer Stitch Games challenge is happening now, and this weekend is the perfect time to introduce someone to Knit Ewe Together!

 

Bring along a friend who hasn't visited the shop before, show them around, squish some yarn together, and maybe even help them find their next project. ๐Ÿ’›

 

And yes...we fully support being the friend who enables the yarn purchase. ๐Ÿ˜‚

 

Grab your stitching buddy and come see us this weekend!

One Adventure Ends...Another Begins! 🍂🧶

Happy Monday, friends!

 

As we begin wrapping up another amazing Summer Stitch Games season, I just have to say...thank you.

 

You've filled the shop with creativity, encouraged one another, and reminded me why I love this community so much.

 

But don't put those needles and hooks away just yet...

 

We've still got a little more fun to squeeze out of summer before we welcome all the cozy fall knitting ahead!

๐Ÿ… Summer Stitch Games

 

This week is all about sharing the fun!

 

Our Bring a Friend challenge is officially underway. If you've been looking for the perfect excuse to introduce someone to Knit Ewe Together, this is it!

 

Bring a friend to the shop, show them around, and let them experience the wonderful fiber community you've helped build.

 

As we get ready to wrap up Summer Stitch Games, don't forget to check your passport and make sure you've collected every stamp you can. The finish line is just around the corner.

๐Ÿ‘€ Something BIG Is Coming...

 

I've been doing a little organizing behind the scenes...

 

Let's just say you might want to make a little room in your project bags.

 

Next week we'll be sharing details about something I've been planning for a while, and if you love a good treasure hunt, you're going to want to keep an eye on your inbox.

 

That's all I'm saying...for now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

โ“Question of the Week

 

Summer Stitch Games are almost over...

 

What's one project you'd love to finish before fall officially arrives?

 

I'd love to hear what's still on your needles (or hooks)!

 

---

 

The past few months have reminded me that this shop is about so much more than yarn.

 

It's about friendships.

It's about learning.

It's about cheering each other on.

 

Thank you for making Knit Ewe Together such a wonderful place to create.

 

Happy stitching!

Keep on squishin'!

Chiaogoo accessories

๐Ÿงถ Did you know you don't have to buy a whole new needle set?

 

If you already love your ChiaoGoo interchangeable needles, we've got the extras to help you make your set work even harder!

 

โœจ Extra needle tips

โœจ Extra cords

โœจ More sizes & lengths = more possibilities

 

Need another cord because three projects are somehow using all of yours? ๐Ÿ˜œ Or want to add a needle size that didn't come in your original set?

 

Stop in and check out our selection of individual ChiaoGoo tips and cords. Sometimes one little addition is all your needle collection needs!

🍦 Let's Finish Summer Strong!

Happy Monday, friends!


Can you believe we're already heading into the final stretch of our Summer Stitch Games?


This summer has been filled with creativity, laughter, new friendships, and so many beautiful projects. As we begin wrapping things up, we've still got plenty of fun aheadโ€”including one of my favorite gatherings of the year!


Let's make this a great week!

๐Ÿ… Summer Stitch Games


We're entering the final week of the Mystery Project Challenge!
If you've been stitching along, now's the time to finish those last clues and bring your mystery project to life.


โœจ Bring a Friend also begins this week! Invite someone new to join you at the shop, introduce them to our wonderful fiber community, and earn another passport stamp.


As Summer Stitch Games begin to wind down, don't forget to fill up those passports! Every stamp gets you one step closer to our prize drawings.

๐Ÿฆ Ice Cream Social


One of my favorite Summer Stitch Games traditions is almost here!


Join us Thursday, August 13 ๐Ÿ•“ 4:00โ€“6:00 PM

๐Ÿ“ Wine & Shine โ€“ Downtown Excelsior Springs


Whether you've completed every challenge or simply enjoyed stitching along this summer, come celebrate with us! Bring your current project, show off your mystery project, and enjoy an afternoon of ice cream and great company.


I hope to see you there!

๐ŸŒธ Last Chance โ€“ Flora Adora Hat Kits


Tomorrow is the LAST day to pre-order your Flora Adora Hat Kit!


Our Knit Ewe Together Make Along begins in October, and I can't wait to knit this beautiful hat together.


Remember:
๐Ÿงถ Order through River Heights Yarn Co.
โญ Add "KET" after your name so your kit is delivered to Knit Ewe Together for pickup.


I hope you'll join us!

๐ŸŒฟ Have You Seen Cottage Garden?


If you haven't stopped in to see Cottage Garden DK from New Garden Yarns, this is your reminder!


Melissa's newest yarn base has been getting lots of attention, and I completely understand why. The colors are beautiful, the yarn is incredibly soft, and I already have a growing list of projects I'd love to make with it.


Come give it a squishโ€”you'll understand. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ“… This Weekend


A quick reminder that Knit Ewe Together will be CLOSED Friday and Saturday for the BBQ & Fly-In festivities in downtown Excelsior Springs.


If you think you'll need yarn this weekend...Come see me early! ๐Ÿ˜„


I'd hate for you to run out of yarn halfway through your project!

โ“Question of the Week


As Summer Stitch Games come to an end...


What has been your favorite project you've made this summer?


I'd love to hear about itโ€”or better yet, bring it into the shop so we can all admire it!


As I look around the shop, I can't help but smile at everything this community has created over the past few months.


Thank you for making Summer Stitch Games such a success.


Now let's finish strong...and then start planning all of those cozy fall projects together.

Happy stitching!
