The Wooden Needle Newsletter - January 2025
Newsletter #53
January 2025
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.
Happy New Year!
What’s happening?
Join us for UFO!
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.
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!
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.
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.

What’s new?
Think lilacs and sweet breezes—

What are you making?
Isn’t it fun to share your current project (or projects!) with friends?

You go, girl!

Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Now that the new year has begun, we’re excited about beginning new projects. If you’re looking to start something new, whether it’s a knitted, crocheted, or wool applique project, stop by to see us. We’ll be happy to help you. Even if you’re not ready to begin something new, we hope you’ll come by anyway. We’ll be looking for you!
Take care,
Gayla
