World Wide Knit in Public Day

They've announced the date and it is Saturday June 14th here at the store from 10:30-4pm. If you missed it last year try to make this one- it was a blast last year and since we have more space this year, we'll be able to fit even more people without being too smooshed! Hope to see you all there.

We've decided that March is going to be the start of our store going "green". If you bring in your own bag when you are purchasing things you can fill out a raffle ticket ticket for a door prize. This will be an ongoing practice- so remember your bags! (This helps reduce trash and helps us keep our costs down, too).

On Saturday March 1st, the first 15 purchasing customers who bring in their own bag will receive a free Stitches With Style tote bag.

We are in the midst of having a mural painted by a local artist, so stop by and see the progress!
