What’s new?
Summertime means it’s time for Knitted Wit National Park colorways.
The June shipment of the 2024 collection is here!
We’re thinking creamsicles and ice pops!
What do you think of when you see Emma’s June colorway?
What are you gifting?
Know a special someone going on a trip? Gift a traveling buddy!
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!
May - #3 (#8 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - June 20, 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 customer/friends.

Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
It’s time for Main Street Festival and Knit in Public Day! During Main Street, you can find all kinds of vendors, food trucks, and live music in Trenton. It just so happens that World Wide Knit in Public Day is the Saturday of Main Street, so we’ll celebrate it both days. Bring your knitting, find a seat in our purple tent, and enjoy crafting with like-minded folks. Crocheters, you’re welcome to join us! I plan to have my spinning wheel in the tent. It’s going to be a fun weekend. We’ll be looking for you!
Take care,
Gayla
