Road Trip!
 Any day trip destined for a fiber festival deserves an exclamation point or two! We mentioned it last week, but wanted to remind you that Knit-a-Bit and three other local stores are heading to the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival on October 19th! The details will be given as we get closer, but if you are interested in hopping a ride so that you can knit and crochet on the way, give us a call to reserve a spot! 908.301.0053 |

The Color Purple....
At Knit-a-Bit, we love the color purple and we aren't the only ones that do! Purple represents many things and happens to be the color for many awareness raising causes as well. We think that we found one that we can all feel good about...Prevent Child Abuse in N.J. is educating parents about Period of PURPLE Crying" during the first few weeks of an infants life and in order to do that, they need our help! Please knit any newborn baby cap pattern (and we have a few to choose from...) in any shade of soft, baby-friendly PURPLE yarn and we will send the caps to the offices. We have a lovely purple tote that we will be collecting these hats. To show our appreciation, Knit-a-Bit will give you a coupon towards your next purchase! We thank you and the babies thank you!

Book of the Week
 You know the drill, you want to knit something new, something beautiful, and something timeless; but where do you start? This week we are featuring a book that may solve this question for you, Wearwithall, Knits For Your Life is a collection of patterns by a group of five talented knitters from The Yarnery in St. Paul MN. The Book offers designs that work, projects that can be tailored to your family's lifestyle and make wonderful gifts as well. The book includes designs for beginning and experienced knitters. There are 13 patterns - from accessories to sweaters to blankets - but that is not all! Each pattern is a springboard to several more patterns by making small changes. For example, the colorwork mitten pattern can be done as simple mitten with a colorful cuff, the hat pattern can be adapted for a man or women, and the toddler's sweater can become a dress. All the necessary directions for making these changes are here for you in clear instructions. All the patterns come with color photos, schematics, charts and well-written instructions that have been test knitted by actual knitters! Always a Plus! Stop in this week, pick up your copy of Wearwithall @ 25% off, and get a head start on those fall knitting projects. Happy Knitting! |
