Come & See ... what's new!
Greetings!

Welcome to the new look of Knitted Together on-line.  We wanted you to be the first to see what we have done.  We are very pleased to announce that on Friday August 14th 2009 we flipped the switch that launched our new e-commerce web-store.  Now with this new web-letter and the latest posting on Nancy's new blog K2tog with Nancy Wyatt we come to you with a seamless look that we hope will excite and inspire you to continue on in our journey to grow the knitting community together.

We long dreamed of having a web-store to showcase on-line what we have done in our "bricks & mortar" store.  However, I don't think we really realized in the beginning that it would be just as huge a task as opening the physical store.  So, after a long time and a lot of work, we are open and ready to serve you. 

Our goals for Knitted Together online are the same as they always have been for our physical store ... to knit the community together with a genuine love and compassion for our customers while providing a great place to enjoy that community.  For our customers that live near by, our web-store will give you an opportunity to preview yarn and other merchandise on-line as well as keep up-to-date with our classes, events, calendar and much more.  For those further away, we want you to know that you can still enjoy that same sense of community, plus have the power to shop on-line with us anytime night or day, 24/7.  So we hope that you will visit our web-store often and tell your friends about it ... where ever they live!

Since our really big news this month is the opening of our new web-store ... this section of our web-letter looks to be somewhat brief.

Recently Creative Corner (a.k.a. the Pink House) closed after serving the knitting community for many years in Des Moines, Iowa.   They were an institution for many years and Nancy shopped there for her  knitting needs long before we opened.  We would like to wish Lois well in her retirement.  We would also like to bridge the gap for many of Creative Corners loyal customers and let everyone know that we wish to make them feel comfortable here in our store as they look for support with their new projects.  We are pleased to have already been able to serve many and hope to meet many more in the future.

In the past we have included some of our favorite recipes in our newsletters.  We have decided that since this was such a hit, that as we continue, you will now be able to find the "favorite recipes" in Nancy's blog.  This will also make a great place for us to archive them and really easy for you to find them.  So click the link to K2tog with Nancy Wyatt to find this months recipe ... it's Tim's harvest chopped veggie salad with grilled chicken ... yummy and healthy.  While your there here's some other great reasons to follow Nancy's blog:  find out more about Nancy, hear what shes got on the needles, see some of her favorite yarns, post and read comments, get great tips and advise from Nancy and guest bloggers, get special discount codes only published on the blog and the list goes on.  We know you'll want to be there.

Keep checking your e-mail box for next months web-mail with September 2009 Newsletter ... it's just around the corner.

August  Featured Yarns
This month we have chosen to call your attention to TyDy yarn by Knit One Crochet Too.   We have carried the TyDy in cotton and sock for sometime now and have recently added the 100% wool version.  If you like the supple color ways of TyDy, and it appears as though many of you did, then you're going to love the TyDy wool.  The wool version is machine washable on gentle cycle and very soft.  This yarn will be a great addition to the TyDy family and makes a great garment that you'll love to wear (not recommended for felting).  Try some soon we know you'll love it.  Click on an image to be directed to our web-store.

Images ... having trouble viewing?
We would like to make a few comments on images.  If you are having trouble viewing this e-mail or if it doesn't look great ... you may need to add us to your safe sender list ... which will allow the images to download automatically.  Also, with the design and implementation of our web-store, the e-mail format and Nancy's blog, we have found that Mozilla Firefox web-browser seems to provide the most consistent viewing experience.  We tried to make everything compatible with as many browsers as possible ... but somethings will never be perfect ... these are just our suggestions.



We really began our push to launch the new on-line look around mid June.  About the end of June we realized that we were going to lose our ability to send out e-mail campaigns to our customers, meaning we would have no way of staying connected with you.  Consequently, it has been a long summer and we have missed being connected with some of our customers and friends.  We apologize ... but we are extremely excited to catch up with you again.  We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor and agree with us that the wait was worth it.  Please feel free to contact us with your comments  at customer_service@knittedtogether.com we'd love to hear from you.  We look forward to seeing you soon and pray that where ever you are today that you would know how magnificent the love of Jesus and that in Him there is no condemnation, but only love for you!
 
God bless,
from all of us at Knitted Together
