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.

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.
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!
November #4 - #8 was the floater this year
**We won’t have Third Thursday/UFO in November or December, but we hope you will join us in January.**
Join us on January 16, 2025 to begin a new year of UFO!
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.
Mary Beth has been busy!
She’s finished her cozy cowl and pretty needle punch flowers.
She’s at it again!
Myra knit another cute hat.
How many stitches were on that last row?
Seems like a gazillion, but it was worth it for Jacq to complete her beautiful Aurora Cabin shawl.
Bookish Beverly is knitting Christmas gifts, and they might actually get finished by Christmas!
WOW! Look at all that counted cross stitch!
Sparkle Girl Debbie has been a busy Santa’s helper.
So soft and cozy!
Holding fingering weight and mohair together, Boss Lady Gayla is knitting a beautiful vest.
We can’t wait to see the finished project!
Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
Another year is coming to an end. It’s been full of lovely yarn, frogged and finished projects, and lots of crafting. Most importantly, it’s been filled with the blessing of old friends and the joy of making new ones. From all of us at TWN to all of you, we hope you have a wonderful Christmas. We’ll see you in 2025!
Take care,
Gayla
