The Wooden Needle Newsletter - October 2024
Newsletter #50
October 2024
Want to know what’s happening at TWN?
You’ve come to the right place!
Once each month, we’ll send you our newsletter to keep you in the know.
It’s time for everything pumpkin spice!
What’s happening?
Let’s go to the Trenton Halloween carnival!
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.

This is our time to enjoy a variety of fiber crafts.

What’s new?
It’s time for Octoberfest!
Get ready to celebrate with Madelinetosh’s October Hue of the Moment - Schnitzelfaced.
How about the fun of pinks and purples with the tiniest surprises of orange?
All that fun is wrapped up in the October ‘24 colorway of Emma’s Yarn!
If you’re looking for a beautiful DK in a variety of colorways, you’ll find it in Jody Long Ciao!
What are you gifting?
If you know someone that knits socks, we’ve got the perfect gift— a Wonderland Yarns sock set!
What’s the UFO number 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 - #9 (#8 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - October 17, 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 like-minded folks?
We love sharing with each other and with our customers/friends.
It's always a treat when Cathy visits us from Louisiana.
Take a look at this beautiful shawl she’ll be gifting to someone special!
Wanda recently learned to knit and just completed her first project -- a wash cloth.
Now, she's ready for anything and getting ready to knit a hat!
You go, girl!
Teena is at it again.
Her needles have been busy knitting a shawl, a cowl, and a hat!
There’s a special little friend in Angela’s life, and she’s made him something special.
He’ll look too cute in his Little Billy Goat vest.
Bookish Beverly knit a tiny pumpkin for a tiny, sweet girl!
How about a cute crocheted emotional support chicken?
Sparkle Girl Debbie this one for a friend!
Boss Lady Gayla did some crafting at church.
She taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders how to tie dye!
Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
And all of a sudden. . . it's fall! Can you believe it? The cooler temperatures seem to bring out the crafting in many us. If you're looking for your yarn fix, stop by to see us or take a look on our website. Want to spend time with some like-minded people? Join us on Workshop Wednesdays or Third Thursday. We always have a good time together. There will also be a good time at the Trenton Halloween carnival. Stop by to say "hello." You'll find me playing Bingo!
Take care,
Gayla
That's it for our newsletter this month, but don’t forget to keep an eye on our Facebook page, blog, and website.
