Have you started earning Rewards yet?
| | The knitch Rewards System: how it works
When you accumulate $200 in purchases of yarn, patterns, books, and/or selected accessories, you receive $15 coupon valid for 60 days and may be applied to the purchase of your choice at knitch. Rewards accrue whether the item is full-price or discounted. (Needles and classes do not accrue Rewards points.) The cashier will notify you when you have earned a Reward. Rewards are time-sensitive-like a coupon. When you earn a Reward, you have 60 days to redeem it for anything in the shop--including needles and classes. For your convenience, your Rewards status appears at the bottom of every sales receipt for purchases you make, but there is no need to present the receipt in order to redeem your Reward. Extra Rewards For every Reward you redeem, you are automatically entered in our year-end drawing, with a chance to win a gift certificate, free class or private lesson, store samples, or other knitting delights yet to be determined. Each Reward you redeeme gives you yet another chance to win!

Greetings!
Sometimes, much as you love them, friends and family aren't
able to fully appreciate the heart and soul--and skill--you pour into your projects the way
other knitters can.
That's why customer Mary Antisdel stopped in last week to
show us her latest knitting accomplishment. Mary's beautifully-rendered, intricate
lace shawl did not elicit any oohs and ahhs from her menfolk at home--they just don't
get it! But we do--and we know that you will, too.
The yarn is Ella Rae
Lace Merino and the pattern by Two Old Bags: "Concert in the Park"
Bravo!
Encore!
Fans of lace will want to check out these new yarns from Skacel:
-
Filigran 100% superwash merino--laceweight for delicate scarves and shawls.
-
Unisono 100% superwash merino with aloe vera and jojoba--fingering
weight. A soft, springy yarn that would also be great for socks or baby things.
