🌟 New to Yarn Crawl?
Take your time, visit each shop, ask questions, squish all the yarn, and most importantly...have fun! Yarn Crawl isn't a race—it's a celebration of our amazing fiber community.

Happy Monday, friends!
I think it's official...
The projects are getting cozier, the weather is thinking about changing, and the shop is buzzing with excitement because Kansas City Yarn Crawl is almost here!
Before we dive into one of my favorite weeks of the year, let's celebrate everything we've accomplished this summer.

🇺🇸 A Special Visit to Excelsior Springs
Beginning Wednesday, September 9, Excelsior Springs will host the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall.
The memorial will remain in town through Monday, September 14, giving our community the opportunity to honor and remember those who served.
If you have the chance, I encourage you to take some time to visit this beautiful and meaningful tribute.

As I look back on another Summer Stitch Games, I'm reminded once again that Knit Ewe Together has never just been about yarn.

It's about friendships.
Learning something new.
Cheering each other on.And creating memories—one stitch at a time.

Now...let's get ready for one of the best weekends of the year!

Happy stitching,
💚 Shawna
Keep on squishin'!

I really want to start repeating this message now so it sinks in before people plan their routes.

🚗🧶 KC YARN CRAWL TIP #1: It's a crawl...not a sprint!

You don't have to visit every shop in one day.

Seriously. 😜

Take two days. Take three. Grab your yarn friends, plan some lunch stops, explore the neighborhoods and actually give yourself time to enjoy each yarn shop.

Because every participating shop is different.

Different yarns.
Different samples.
Different projects.
Different personalities.
Different surprises. 💛

And you definitely want to visit ALL of them!

📌 Visit every shop and collect a souvenir pin from each stop.

🎉 Visit all of the shops to complete your eligibility for the KC Yarn Crawl Grand Prize drawing!

So when you're planning your route...

Don't rush the crawl. Enjoy the crawl. 🧶💛

And make sure Excelsior Springs makes the itinerary—we can't WAIT to welcome you to Knit Ewe Together!

🏁🧶 THE FINAL WEEK IS HERE! 🧶🏁

Summer Stitch Games is officially closing in on the finish line!

We've already had completed passports turned in, and I know there are a few more of you VERY close. 👀

Remember:

🧶 All projects must be submitted by midnight Saturday, September 6 via text or email.

👯 Bring a Friend continues through the end of Summer Stitch Games on September 7 — so there's still time to bring someone new along for the fun!

And yes...Vacation Mode counts as long as you aren't at home! 😂

Finish those last few stitches. Check those passports. Send those pictures.

YOU'VE GOT THIS! 🏁💛

And to everyone who has played along with us this summer...what a FUN summer it has been. 🥰

Something is happening behind the scenes at Knit Ewe Together... 👀🧶

We're swatching, stitching, pairing yarns and putting together LOTS of kits for KC Yarn Crawl!

This year you'll find a fun mix of:

🪝 Crochet projects — we've got some REALLY cute ones coming
🧶 Beautiful knit classics you'll want to wear again and again
🛍️ Grab & Go Kits — yarn + project inspiration ready when you find something you just HAVE to make
✨ And a few surprises we're keeping to ourselves for now. 😉

Because isn't that one of the best parts of a Yarn Crawl?

Walking into a shop and finding your next project. 🥰

Every KC Yarn Crawl shop has its own yarns, projects, personality and inspiration, so give yourself time to experience them ALL.

Don't rush the crawl. Enjoy the crawl.

Take more than one day if you need to! Visit every shop, collect every souvenir pin, and when you've completed all the stops, you'll also qualify for the Grand Prize drawing! 🎉

And when you make it to Excelsior Springs...

Come ready to be inspired. We'll have the kits ready. 😏🧶
