Newsletter #61
September 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.
It’s our anniversary month!
TWN is 10!
See party details below.
Looking for a project?
If you do any Christmas gift crafting, we know we should already have started. (Of course, some of us enjoy a frantic Christmas eve finish!)
For those wanting a leisurely 24th, get started today by knitting the Basket of Blossoms Shawl (Kerry Bullock-Ozkan) or crocheting the Florescence Shawl (Janet Pippin).
What are you gifting?
A sweet hydrangea set of zippered pouches and a blank journal might be just the thing for a special friend.
What’s new?
Purple? A little.
Lavender? Maybe.
Beautiful? YES!
That’s the look of Emma’s Yarn in the crazy beautiful September ‘25 colorway!
Boss Lady Gayla did a restock in some of our Queensland Coastal Cotton colorways, but she also got us some yummy new colorways!
What are you making?
Isn’t it fun to share your current project (or projects!)?
We love sharing with each other and with our customers/friends.
These frogs aren’t getting frogged!
Aren’t Teena’s sweet little guys just the cutest?
The Workshop Wednesday quilt jackets are almost finished.
Cheryl just has a few final touches to put on her beauty!
Saroja has done it again.
Look at her gorgeous Stephen West shawl!
Bookish Beverly is using DK yarn to knit some cozy socks.
Whew!
Just peeping inside Sparkle Girl Debbie’s bag at all those fun projects makes us tired (but excited!).
Boss Lady Gayla has started another quilt.
It’s going to be a stunner!

COME JOIN THE FUN!
It's a 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.
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!
August - #4 (#11 is the floater this year)
*Next UFO meeting - Thursday, 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.
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!

Needle Notes
Hello, everyone—
It’s no longer 100 degrees outside, and we are so grateful. Even though it’s still warm, and fall is not here yet, we’re beginning to feel a change in the air. We’re ready for cozy sweaters, snuggly socks, and all the yarny goodness that comes with cooler weather. Are you ready, too? Stop by to see us and we can chat about our favorite fall patterns. We’ll be looking for you!
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.
