🍂 Welcome Back...Let's Get Cozy!

Happy Monday, friends!
After all the excitement of the Kansas City Yarn Crawl, it feels good to settle back into our regular rhythm here at Knit Ewe Together.
The shelves are full, projects are underway, and fall has officially arrived in the shop. If you've stopped in over the last week, you've probably noticed that the conversations have already shifted from summer projects to sweaters, holiday gifts, and everything we hope to finish before the end of the year.
I have a feeling this is going to be a wonderful season.

πŸ‚ Finish Off Fall Is Underway!
How are those Works-In-Progress coming?
Our Finish Off Fall challenge is officially underway, and I already love seeing everyone pull those long-forgotten projects back out of their bags.
Whether it's a sweater that's missing sleeves, a shawl waiting for bind-off, or those socks you've been meaning to finish...this is your chance!
Let's cheer each other on and see how many projects we can rescue before the holidays arrive.

πŸ‘ New in the Shop – Parsons' Prairie Roving!
Something exciting has arrived!
We're now carrying Parsons' Prairie roving, and I couldn't be happier to welcome another wonderful local fiber product into the shop.
Whether you're a spinner, a needle felter, or you've simply been curious about trying something new, stop in and take a look. The fibers are beautiful, and I can't wait to see what you create with them.

🌸 Flora Adora Begins This Week!
It's almost time!
Our Flora Adora Hat Make Along kicks off this Saturday at 2:00 PM, and I can't wait to cast on with everyone.
Over the next four Saturdays we'll learn new techniques, cheer each other on, and create one beautiful hat together.
If you're participating, don't forget to bring your kit and your excitementβ€”we're going to have so much fun!  We have extra kits if you didn't get in on the pre-order, just stop in and we will get you set up!

πŸŽ„ Christmas Is Closer Than You Think...
I know...I know...
Nobody wants to hear the word Christmas in September. πŸ˜„
But if you're planning to give handmade gifts this year, now is the perfect time to start thinking ahead.
I'm putting the finishing touches on a Quick Christmas Gifts Class, filled with fun projects you can actually finish before December.
More details are coming very soon!

πŸ‚ Purlie Watch
Purlie has been making new friends every week!
If you missed the newest collectible stitch marker during Yarn Crawl, don't worryβ€”we still have a few waiting for their forever project bags.
Once they're gone, though...that's it!

πŸ‘‹ Join Us for Make & Mingle!
One of my favorite things about Knit Ewe Together isn't something we sell...
It's the friendships that grow around the table.
Whether you're knitting, crocheting, spinning, or just looking for some company while you work on your latest project, you're always welcome to pull up a chair at Make & Mingle.
You don't have to know anyone before you come...
You won't leave as a stranger. πŸ’š

As I look around the shop, I'm reminded that every season has its own rhythm.
Summer brings games and adventure.
Fall brings cozy projects, learning new skills, and gathering around the table with friends.
I'm so thankful that I get to share another season with all of you.
Happy stitching,
πŸ’š Shawna
Keep on squishin'!

🧶 SATURDAY: Weekend WIP Check!

Okay, makers… ROLL CALL! πŸ‘€πŸ§Ά

It’s Saturday, which means I want to know:

What are you working on this weekend?

Are you…

🧢 Starting something new even though Finish Off Fall specifically encouraged us to finish things? πŸ˜‚
πŸ‚ Being responsible and working on a WIP?
🐸 Frogging something that has officially lost the battle?
πŸŽ‰ FINISHING something and feeling ridiculously proud of yourself?

Drop a picture in the comments! πŸ‘‡

Bonus points if it’s one of your Finish Off Fall projects! 🍁

We want to see what’s on your needles, hooks, hoops, machines… whatever you're making with!

And if you need a little motivation, come hang out with us. Sometimes a room full of makers is exactly what it takes to get a few more rows done. πŸ’•

Have you been saying, “I really want to learn how to crochet…”? 👀

Wellllll… this might be your sign. 😜🧢

Our Crochet Class is THIS SATURDAY! πŸŽ‰

Come spend a couple of hours with us, learn something new, ask all the questions, and get those hands comfortable with a hook and yarn.

And if you've tried learning from videos and ended up yelling β€œBUT WHERE DOES THE HOOK GO?!” at your screen… πŸ˜‚ this is exactly why learning in person can be so helpful!

πŸ’• Bring a friend and learn together!

We still have room β€” message us or stop by the shop to grab your spot for Saturday!

🩵🧶 PURLIE’S PICK — Finish Off Fall! 🍂

Purlie is sliding in a little late with her Thursday Pick… apparently she got distracted by a project she started six months ago. 😜

This week, Purlie’s Pick is FINISH OFF FALL! 🍁

She says it’s time to dig through the project bags, investigate the baskets, and face those WIPs that have been quietly judging us. πŸ˜‚

For just $5 to join, you’ve got six weeks to finish as many projects as you can. Every finished project earns an entry toward our grand prize AND a leaf on our Fall Finishes Tree! πŸ‚

And yes… if there’s a project you KNOW is never getting finished, frogging counts too β€” up to 3 projects. Sometimes letting go is a finish. πŸ˜‚

🧢 Knit, crochet, cross stitch, sewing, weaving & more
🍁 Unlimited finishing entries
🎁 Grand Prize: $30 KET gift certificate + a large project bag filled with yarn!

Purlie wants to know: what’s lurking in YOUR project bag that needs to be finished? πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚

Bring it in and get signed up!

💚 What a Weekend! Thank You for an Amazing Kansas City Yarn Crawl!

Happy Monday, friends!

What an incredible weekend!

Whether you traveled across the city or just down the road, thank you for making Knit Ewe Together part of your Kansas City Yarn Crawl adventure.

The laughter, the yarn, the conversations, the familiar faces, and all of the new friends we met made this one of my favorite Crawl weekends yet.

It's a Crawl, Not a Sprint 🚗🧶

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

πŸš—πŸ§Ά 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. πŸ’›

And you definitely want to visit ALL of them!

πŸ“Œ Visit every shop and collect a souvenir pin from each stop.

πŸŽ‰ 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. πŸ§ΆπŸ’›

And make sure Excelsior Springs makes the itineraryβ€”we can't WAIT to welcome you to Knit Ewe Together!

Summer Stitch Games Final Week 🏁

🏁🧢 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. πŸ‘€

Remember:

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

πŸ‘― Bring a Friend continues through the end of Summer Stitch Games on September 7 β€” 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! πŸ˜‚

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

YOU'VE GOT THIS! πŸπŸ’›

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