Workshop Wednesdays!
Join us for Workshop Wednesdays!
Every month or so, we’ll begin a new project together.

There is no charge for attending TWN Workshop Wednesdays.
A basic knowledge of knitting will be needed for these projects.
The only requirement is that you purchase your project materials here at TWN.
You don’t have to attend every Wednesday--- come when you can, when you need help, or when you just want to join the party!
Workshop Wednesdays will take place every Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 until 5:00.

What’s new?

Check out some of our new colors and designs.
What are you gifting?
A Kennedy Wrap adds just the right amount of warmth and cozy to any outfit, and it makes a great gift!
What’s the UFO number for this month?
Do you see them?
They're watching you!
All those unfinished projects----
If you’re looking for a fun way to finish your WIPs or begin some new projects, this is the way to do it.
You begin by making a list of twelve projects.
Your list of twelve projects can include unfinished projects, new projects, parts of a large project, or a combination of the three. Each month, we'll draw a number which will identify the project you'll work on over the coming month. On the third Thursday of each month, we'll meet to share our projects and choose a new number. Just think! At the end of the year, you'll feel so good with all those FOs!
January - We’ll draw our first number on January 18th.
*Next UFO meeting - January 18, 2024
What? UFO - Unfinished Objects
When? Third Thursday of each month 5:00 until 7:00
How? Work on the chosen number project from your list until the third Thursday
**For UFO projects, yarn does not have to be purchased from TWN.
What are you making?
Isn’t it fun to share your current project (or projects!) with friends?
We love sharing with each other and with our customers.
What can you get when you don’t use sparkly sock yarn to knit socks?
A beautiful shawl like the one knit by Angela!
Ann has become a prolific hat knitter.
These beauties were Christmas gifts!
Ellen completed her wool applique candle mat.
Doesn’t it look lovely?
