Join us for our last Holiday Workshop on December 11th and learn how to make the "Chunky Alpaca Cowl" for a last minute gift for someone on your gift list.  Actually there are two more workshops, the December 18th workshop, may be the best bargain of the year.  For only a $10 registration fee, we will have an instructor on hand to help you get through any difficulties you may be experiencing as you try to finish the last of your knitted gifts.  Click Here to be redirected to our Holiday Workshop page where you can get all the information you need.


*NOTE:  Please call or stop by the store to register for classes as we do not take registration via e-mail and our website is not wired to handle this task.

Please join us on Friday evening December 17th, at 6pm for our last FNKC of 2010, and enjoy a Christmas Party that you won't soon forget.  There is a lot of discussion regarding giving and receiving gifts around the Holidays, so here's our take on it.  We think it's only natural that one would want to give others whom they care about, the perfect gift for Christmas ... after all, isn't that what God did for us and we were created in His image.  So, throughout the evening we will be handing out some free gifts.  It's just our way of saying thank you as well as our vendors way of showing their appreciation.  But we don't want to be the only ones whose hearts are touched by giving, that's why we are also sharing that opportunity with you.  That's right, show up with a gift for a knitter and your name will be entered on a list for our gift exchange ... we'll make a cute game of it and everyone will have a great time, to be sure.  Now that means everyone who attends has a chance to leave with up to two gifts.  Stay tuned for more info on the party and PLEASE RSVP (regrets not necessary) so that we have an accurate gift count.

We can't wait to see you there.

"MITTEN TREE"

a project for women in need

 

The knitters in this community continue to prove that serving and sharing are foundational to knitting.  In fact, if we had to guess, we would say that at least 80% of all knitted items are for someone other than the knitter.  That truly fills our heart with joy.  This is why we are excited to ask you to once again partner with us to share love and bring hope to women in this community who desperately need to know that someone cares.

 

Our 2010/2011 Mitten Tree is a project to provide hand knitted mittens, scarves and hats for women at a battered women's shelter and Polk County's residential living center.  The items we donate will be distributed by our friends and partners at Family Directions of Iowa.  We are calling this a chance to "pay it forward", yet we at Knitted Together want to pay you back for your generosity.  For your generous donations through January 31^st 2011, we will give you a 10% discount coupon to use when shopping in our store.  Here's how it works:

 

• Knit mittens, scarves and hats (your choice).  Please make them gender specific as possible as they will be given to women.
• Bring them to Knitted Together anytime from December 1^st through January 31^st 2011.
• When you turn your item/items in, you will receive a coupon that will entitle you to 10% off your one time yarn purchase at Knitted Together.  Coupon is valid January 4^th through February 26^th 2011. 
• Feel free to attach a card or note along with your contribution, please don't include your last name.

 

You may contribute to the project as many times as you like, however, we can only offer ONE coupon per person for this promotion.  Here are a few more simple rules we ask you abide by.  Hand knitted, not store bought.  NO used items.  No duplicating of coupons.

 

Once again, we thank you for partnering with us.  Whether you call it "paying it forward" or as we have been sharing about "think global, act local" ... we think it's a win, win for everyone.

Need another reason to stop by the shop ... we'll give you two.  First the Mirasol Project Yarns continue to be a huge hit, Misti Alpaca hand paints disappear as quickly as we stock them and we just shelved yet another order of Malibrigo kettle dyed yarns ... you should really Come & See them.

The second reason to come and see us makes the first reason a no brainer.  The following is an advertisement from CLASSIC ELITE YARNS:

WOW, it makes sense to us and in fact we have had a few customers already tell us what a great promotion this is and how much they enjoyed the gift.

Ready ... 1.2.3.4 ... Hark the Herold Angels Sing, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Angels We Have Heard On High, Silent Night, Oh Holy Night, Away In a Manger, The First Noel, Go Tell It On The Mountain, Joy To The World, Do You Hear What I Hear.  Wow, we hope you enjoyed it ... especially since you didn't actually have to hear us sing it.

Seriously though, we really hope that your Holiday Season is filled with the love, mercy and grace that only the God who holds the universes in His hands can give.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
