🍂 One Last Week of Summer...Let's Make It Count!

Happy Monday, friends!
Can you believe this is the last week of August?
It feels like we blinked and suddenly we're talking about Yarn Crawl, Christmas projects, and cozy fall knitting! Before we turn the page on summer, we've got one more exciting week packed full of yarn, friends, and a few surprises.
Let's jump in!

🧢 New Clearance Has Emerged...
Apparently, I wasn't done cleaning. 🀣
I've been digging through the depths of storage, and guess what I found...
MORE YARN!
That means new clearance yarn has been added to our Pre-Crawl Clearance Event!
If you've already shopped the sale, it might be worth another tripβ€”you never know what treasures have surfaced.
Remember...

πŸ’— Pink Dot – $5
πŸ’› Yellow Dot – $10
πŸ’š Green Dot – $15
And yes...I'll probably keep finding more things. πŸ˜‰

πŸ… Summer Stitch Games
This is it...
The FINAL week of Summer Stitch Games!
The Bring a Friend Challenge continues through the end of the games, so there's still time to collect those last passport stamps.
Before next weekend, double-check your passport and make sure every project has been counted.
I can't wait to celebrate all of your creativity over the past few months!

🧢 KC Yarn Crawl Is Almost Here!
We're getting so close!
If you scheduled your KC Yarn Crawl yarn pickup, your yarn should already be waiting for you here at the shop.
The project pouches are on their way and should be arriving soon!
I can't wait to see everyone's kits come togetherβ€”it won't be long now!

πŸ‚ Fall Classes Are Taking Shape
I'm having so much fun planning our fall lineup!
🍁 Flora Adora Hat Make Along begins in October, and it's going to be a beautiful way to learn and enjoy colorwork together.
πŸŽ„ I'm also putting together a Quick Christmas Gifts Class, perfect for checking a few handmade gifts off your holiday list.
One important reminder...
We will not be offering Beginner Knitting or Beginner Crochet classes in November or December, so if you've been thinking about learning (or know someone who has), now is the time to sign up!
Stay tunedβ€”we have even more fun classes in the works!

❓Question of the Week
What project are you hoping to finish before the Kansas City Yarn Crawl begins?
I'd love to hear what's on your needlesβ€”and even better, I'd love to see it when you stop by!

As summer comes to a close, I just want to say thank you.
Thank you for playing along in Summer Stitch Games, for bringing friends into the shop, for laughing with us, learning with us, and making Knit Ewe Together such a wonderful community.
Now...let's get ready for one of my favorite times of the year.
Happy stitching!

Keep on squishin'!

🏁🧶 WE CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE! 🧶🏁

Summer Stitch Games is almost in the books, and WOW have you all been stitching this summer!

We've seen projects started, projects finished, challenges conquered, friends brought along and passports filled one stamp at a time. πŸ’›

Now it's time to look at that passport and ask...

πŸ‘€ What do you still need to finish?

You have until September 6 at midnight to get those final projects submitted by text or email!

And don't forget β€” Bring a Friend continues through the end of Summer Stitch Games on September 7.

We've already had completed passports turned in...and we know there are several more getting VERY close. 😏

One more push, stitchers. Finish those projects and fill those passports! 🏁🧢

🐂✨ PURLIE'S PICK OF THE WEEK! ✨🐂

Apparently Purlie heard the words "clearance yarn" and suddenly became a very serious bargain shopper. πŸ˜‚πŸ§Ά

Her pick this week?

πŸ‘‰ THE TREASURE HUNT.

There are some seriously good skeins hiding on our Pre-Crawl Clearance tables...and Purlie thinks half the fun is finding the one everyone else somehow missed. πŸ‘€

And remember β€” we're adding new clearance every Tuesday, so the selection will keep changing!

What's your clearance-shopping personality?

🧢 Dig through EVERY skein
πŸ‘€ Spot your favorite from across the room
πŸ›οΈ Say "I'm just looking" and leave with a bag

Purlie has a feeling she knows which one most of you are. 😜

#PurliesPick #KnitEweTogether #YarnClearance #YarnTreasureHunt #LocalYarnShop

🚨🧶 THE PRE-CRAWL CLEARANCE IS ON! 🧶🚨

We're making room before Yarn Crawl, which means some very happy yarn hunting for YOU!

Look for the colored dots:

🩷 Pink Dot β€” $5
πŸ’› Yellow Dot β€” $10
πŸ’š Green Dot β€” $15

And here's the dangerous part... 😜

✨ NEW CLEARANCE YARN WILL BE ADDED EVERY TUESDAY! ✨

So just because you shopped the clearance once doesn't mean you've seen it all.

Come dig through the baskets, find a hidden treasure, and take home some yarn at a REALLY good price. πŸ§ΆπŸ›οΈ

Ready...Set...Fall! 🍂🧶

Happy Monday, friends!

I don't know about you, but this always feels like one of my favorite times of the year.

Summer projects are being finished, the shelves are filling with cozy yarns, and before we know it we'll be welcoming everyone for the Kansas City Yarn Crawl.

We've got a lot happening over the next few weeks, so let's dive in!


🧹 The Pre-Crawl Clearance Starts TOMORROW!

Tomorrow the hunt begins!

We've been busy making room for all of the beautiful fall yarns arriving in the shop, which means it's time for our Pre-Crawl Clearance Event!

πŸ’— Pink Dot Yarns – $5

πŸ’› Yellow Dot Yarns – $10

πŸ’š Green Dot Yarns – $15

✨ Plus yarn bundles and surprise finds!

NEW clearance will be added every Tuesday, so every visit could uncover a new treasure.

If you love a good yarn bargain...this week is for you!


πŸ… Summer Stitch Games

We're almost at the finish line!

The Bring a Friend Challenge has two weeks remaining, so if you've been waiting for the perfect excuse to introduce someone to Knit Ewe Together, now is the time.

Don't forget to look through your passport and make sure you've earned every stamp you can before Summer Stitch Games come to a close.

I can't wait to celebrate everyone's finished passports!


πŸ‚ KC Yarn Crawl Is Almost Here!

September is right around the corner, which means Kansas City Yarn Crawl is getting close!

We'll be sharing more Crawl fun over the next few weeks, but if you haven't marked your calendar yet...

🧢 September 17–20

Four days of yarn, friends, inspiration, and a whole lot of fun across the Kansas City area.

We're getting excited...and I hope you are too!


🌿 Cottage Garden Continues to Bloom

If you haven't stopped in to squish Cottage Garden DK from New Garden Yarns, this week is the perfect excuse.

The colors are beautiful, the yarn is soft, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite choices for fall garments and accessories.

Come see what everyone has been talking about!


πŸ‘€ Looking Ahead...

Once the Yarn Crawl wraps up, we're not slowing down!

We're already putting the finishing touches on something new called Finish Off Fall, and I think it's going to be the perfect way to finally complete those projects that have been patiently waiting in your project bags.

More details are coming soon!


πŸ“… September Calendar Is Here!

Our September calendar is ready!

With workshops, Make & Mingle, the Kansas City Yarn Crawl, and our upcoming Finish Off Fall event, there's something happening almost every week.

Be sure to check it out online!

 


❓Question of the Week

What's your favorite season to knit or crochet?

Are you a summer shawl maker...

Or do you wait all year for sweater weather? πŸ‚

I'd love to hear!


Every season brings something different to Knit Ewe Together, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead.

Thank you for making this little yarn shop such a wonderful place to gather, learn, laugh, and create together.

Happy stitching!

Keep on squishin'!

🧶 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? πŸ‘€

 

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? πŸ˜‚

 

Tell us in the comments β€” 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. πŸ’›

 

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

 

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!

❓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!
