Easter just kicked off the "Shawl Contest" ... we have 19 people registered so far, but if you're a quick knitter there is still time to enter.  If you missed the details, just visit our website or Nancy's blog ... while you're at Nancy's blog you should check out her Easter shawl.

The following is the path we'll follow on this journey and it will be here each month to remind you of where we are and where we're going: 

We've finished the first Holiday with our Monster Birthday Bash, and the Easter Shawl Contest is in progress, around the corner is Memorial Day, down the hill is the Fourth of July, through the corn field and out on main street is the State Fair Parade and then we'll finish this up on the other side of the lake with Labor Day (we said it would be a path).  Each of these celebrations will kick off another contest in the series and each will have a different theme.  But you're gonna have to stay connected, because you won't get the details for these contests until the week prior to the Holiday date.   

We're so excited to have you over for the Holidays ... don't forget to keep checking the map :) 

We want to thank you for supporting your Local Yarn Store (LYS) ... in fact we want to let you know just how grateful we are to you for supporting your LYS, regardless of who or where that LYS is, that we are offering you R E W A R D S.  Why?  Because supporting your LYS is the single most important thing you can do to help grow the needle arts community and industry as a whole.  Why is this important?  Because the greater support of the industry by the community, the greater the incentive for designers to continue the development of really amazing yarns and patterns.

So here are our rewards for you.  During the months of April, May and June, every time you visit Knitted Together and bring your receipt from another LYS with you, we'll honor it by giving you 10% off your yarn purchase.  Why?  Because we want you to know that we support you by supporting the needle arts industry as a whole.  There are a few rules, so be sure to keep reading and check-out how to cash in on the savings.

Loyalty Has It's

R E W A R D S

Yes it sure does.  Bring in your receipts from Knitted Together and receive an even greater discount off your yarn purchase.  That's right, if you're a loyal customer of Knitted Together we want to give you an even sweeter deal.  So, again ... PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES to see how our discounts apply.  

How Our Discounts Apply to Receive LYS Rewards:  

1. Rewards Promotion starts April 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2011.
2. When you bring in a receipt from any local yarn store (LYS), you will receive 10% off your yarn purchase at that time.  Your receipt must be the original invoice (no photo copies).  We won't keep it, but we will put a pink highlighter mark on it, as it can only be used once. 
3. Your receipt must be dated in the same month and year as the date of your purchase (ie: to use your receipt from a LYS to get a discount at Knitted Together in April 2011, your receipt must be dated in April 2011 ... same applies for May and June.).
4. Your receipt must be from an in-store purchase and likewise can only be used in our store (no on-line purchases for this promotion).
5. Reward discounts will only be applied to YARN purchases.
6. You must agree to have a current customer card in our Point of Sale (if you don't already) and must agree to join our e-mail list.

What a great time to get a great deal on the yarn you already wanted to buy.  And we have never had such an amazing selection of spring and summer yarns to choose from.  

• First Sock Class: Tuesday, May 17th and 24th, 6-8pm. This class will walk you through making a mini-sock start to finish, that can be used as an ornament or toddler's sock.  You'll learn the ins and outs of  sock knitting, including knitting on double-point needles (dpns).  For this class you will work on larger needles and yarn and you should complete one sock.  There are two 2-hour classes.  The cost is $35. 
• Exploring Socks Heals & Toes:  Thursday, May 12th and 19th, 6-8pm. This class will introduce sock knitters to various styles of heals and toes to help increase knowledge of sock construction. There are two 2-hour classes. The cost is $35.  

Yep, that's right, if your door bell rang randomly and there was no one there, all day on the first ... it was us, we couldn't help ourselves:)   

Want some special attention from Nancy as you pick out a new project ... this is a perfect time to do it.  See you soon.
