What’s new?
It’s really on the way!
The August colorway from Emma’s Yarn has us thinking of fall days.

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.
It’s never too late to join us!
Begin by making a list of projects– twelve or fewer will work.
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!
May - #1 (#11 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - (No August meeting) - next will be September 18th
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.

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!

Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
Buses are rolling and there seems to be the slightest change in the air. Even though it’s still hot outside, we’re feeling those fall vibes. It’s time to finish WIPS, begin new projects, and look forward to the coming season. If you want to get in the mood with us, stop by and squish some yarn. We’ll be looking for you!
Take care,
Gayla
