What’s happening?
The 2024/2025 schedule is out!
Join us for Workshop Wednesdays!
Every month or so, we’ll begin a new project together.
Our goal is to help you learn new skills or practice old ones.
There is no charge for attending TWN Workshop Wednesdays.
The only requirement is that you purchase your project materials here at TWN.
A basic knowledge of knitting will be needed for these projects.
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 happen every Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 until 5:00.
- June - emotional support chicken (Hens everywhere!)
- July- wool applique (beginner and next level!)
- Aug/Sept - shawl (Intarsia!)
- Oct - rug hooking (guest teacher!)
- Nov/Dec - cardigan (adding pockets!)
- Jan - embroidery (guest teacher!)
- Feb - vest (split sides!)
- Mar/Apr - shawl (lace!)
- May - socks (cuff down! toe up! two-at-a-time!)
Questions? Just give us a call!
Come to Sit & Stitch on Third Thursday!

Bring your project -- whatever it is -- and join us on Third Thursday.
This is our time to enjoy a variety of fiber crafts.
For Sit & Stitch, your crafting materials need not have been purchased from TWN.
Bring your project, and come craft with us!
Join us on the Third Thursday of each month from 5:00 until 7:00.
Join the fun at Friday Forum!
Let’s get together for crafting on Friday afternoons from 2:00 until 5:00.
It will be a time to get help with a current project, discuss ideas for future projects, and simply enjoy the company of like-minded folks.
Knit? Crochet? Wool applique? You choose what you’d like to do.
The only requirement for Friday Forum is that your project materials were purchased at TWN.
Come join us!

What are you gifting?

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!
June - #12 (#8 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - July 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.
