What a difference a few days of seasonal temperatures makes. Earlier this month I still felt like summer would never end. I was knitting outside, strutting around in shorts and tees, and even floating in our pool.
This week, back to reality … time to clean out the Knit Sew Well truck and get her ready for winter storage.
We had a great summer with the truck! Our season started in May, and we hosted the last truck event on September 28, when we collaborated with Pastime Pieces for a fall harvest sale. We met so many knitters and sewists – many of our regulars came out to see us at our various events, and we were grateful to make connections with crafters from across CK and beyond. Your support is so appreciated.
We’re also very excited about your upcoming projects and are ready to help you achieve your handmade goals. The truck may be tucked away, but we’re going to be hosting events and workshops right through to next May. Keep an eye on our social feeds, where you’ll see what we’re up to, and get the latest on new products and sales.
Next up
We’re hosting an afternoon of stitching and sipping at Red Barn Brewing Co. Join us Sunday, October 20 from 2-4 PM for some social stitching. Red Barn Brewing Company is located at 20466 Lagoon Rd., just outside of Blenheim.
What’s on sale?
All our labels are 25% off to the end of November. This includes all KATM labels as well as their fabric tape and labels tins. We have their Festive Baubles on sale at 40% off. These sets make a fabulous gift for the sewist in your life, or for yourself!
All our double-pointed needles will be 25% off Oct. 21 to the end of November. The Nova Platina needles are a good beginner option if you’re just learning how to do socks on four DPNs. I’ve been using the Cubics needles for my sock-knitting, and they are indeed very easy on the hands. This is a great time to pick up some sock yarn and DPN’s to start your Christmas gift socks. Only 10 Saturdays until Christmas!
Starting November 1 we’ll have all our Closet Core patterns on sale. We’ve already put the last Cielo pattern at 25% off. Closet Core has great pattern support, and the Cielo top/dress is a lovely beginner project.
