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. (We start with 12 at the beginning of the year, but you can join us anytime and work on your WIPs.)
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!
July - #7 (#8 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - August 15, 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.

Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
In our part of the world, it’s been toasty and humid, but that doesn’t keep us from crafting! On August 16th and 17th, we’ll have fun things going on in the store to celebrate Christmas in August. Our Workshop Wednesday group continues to enjoy working together on a variety of projects. Looking for a cool spot? Stop by and join us. It might be hot outside, but it nice and chilly in TWN.
Take care,
Gayla
