Our 5th Anniversary was a huge success thanks to all of our wonderful customers! We raised an astounding $906 with our silent auction and Sami (of Salmon Jewels) made over $250 with her jewelry, stitch marker and cupcake sales! These numbers are incredible and we haven't even factored in the donations of goods and money from all of you! We are so lucky to have customers like you and we really appreciate all that you do!!  

What it's all about!

How we raised some of that money!

Garver helped us pick some names for the new puppies...

A trunk full of donations!

Thanks again! You guys rock!!

Our Anniversary is just around the corner and I thought it was time to make sure everyone knows what's happening on the big day!

When: Saturday, May 12 
             11:00-4:00 pm
Where: Your favorite LYS 
Goal: Raise $2,000 for K9 Partners and name a puppy! 
Here's a list of fundraisers for this oh so worthy cause:
  • Silent Auction full of great donations from our fabulous customers
  • Authentic K9 Partners gear
  • Pizza and Soda  from 12-1 pm ($1 per slice and $1 per soda)
  • Sammi and Lexi (our resident jewelry makers) will be here with all sorts of goodies
In addition to fundraising we will also have a trunk show from HPKY and Lorna's Laces, as well as fun new merchandise from Chic-a Bags and Cestari yarns! 

Worried about how this event will effect your wallet? We thought of that too:
  • When you come in be sure to stop by the counter and roll the dice! We will have 5 dice for you too roll and the sum is your discount for the day. (Restrictions include any item that is already on sale including but not limited to sale yarn, books and Knitpicks needle sets.)
  • Bring a donation off of this list from K9 Partners and receive coupon(s) for 10 skeins for $25 from the sale department    (The coupon must be used that day and SWS reserves the right to withhold the coupon if we feel the donation doesn't reflect the generosity we have come to expect from our customers. You guys rock all our fundraisers but you know we have to have a disclaimer!)
In expectation of how crazy a day this will be please keep in mind that we will not be available for knitting help. Also, space tends to be limited on our anniversary so we strongly encourage you to cut down on the number of projects that come with you. Thanks in advance for a great day!

We have been busy ordering fall/winter yarns but I thought it was only fair to take a quick time out to show you a small sampling of the HPKY that will be here for our 5th Anniversary! Ok, maybe fair isn't the right word... At least you have a warning!!

 
 
It's getting to be that time of year again! Stitches With Style's 5th Anniversary is Saturday, May 12 which means it's time for me to start teasing you with details of the upcoming festivities!

When you come in on May 12 be sure to swing by the counter and roll the dice to find out the percentage you will be receiving off nearly your entire purchase. In keeping with the theme, there will be 5 dice which means you can roll up to 30% off! Once you find out your savings you're free to go wild! 


Watch for an e-mail today to find out about a sale that starts tomorrow...

Thanks for reading!
 
We need ideas.. 04/13/2012
 
As many of you know we will be having a Silent Auction on May 12 (our 5th Anniversary) to raise money for Canine Paterners for Life. If we raise enough money we get to name a puppy who will grow up to be a service dog. We need name ideas so please leave a comment with your name idea(s.)

The lace weight Scrumptious Yarn by Lantern Moon has arrived! This silk merino blend has just about 1100 yards so one skein is enough for quite a few projects! As always, the picture doesn't do the yarn justice so be sure to come in and see these gorgeous colorways for yourself!  

Not sure what to make? Check out The Scrumptious Collection booklet for plenty of tempting patterns! Not in love with lace weight? We also carry the Sport Superwash and DK/Worsted! This booklet has patterns for the entire Scrumptious line, so everyone is sure to find at least one project they can't wait to start! I know there are quite a few things I'm coveting! 

Be sure to stop in soon and see what else came in from Lantern Moon as well as other tempting goodies that are new for the Spring/Summer Season! Thanks for reading!

This month's yarn is a gorgeous silk and wool lace weight yarn that comes with a fantastic shawl pattern! Be sure to get in soon for your fix because this is the last month of Dream Club until September! Torturous I know, but just think how wonderful seeing that next yarn will be! 

 Be sure to stop by and check out the new gauge and stitch saver pendants (check your e-mail for more details!) I did manage to leave one exciting thing out of the e-mail and that was the arrival of our very first square interchangeable needles! They are a 16" set with needle tips in sizes 6-10. While only 16" cables are included, the tips will fit other cables from both Knitpicks and Knitter's Pride kits. Check out the picture below: 

Every time I try to rotate the picture my session times out so sorry, but I figured sideways was better than nothing!! Thanks for reading!

I often find that the hardest part of tackling my holiday knit list is picking out the yarn for each recipient and then matching it with a pattern. Well, we just got some kits from Mountain Color Yarns that have a few people crossed off my list! Who wouldn't love receiving a handknit cowl, shrug and mittens in gorgeous hand dyed yarn? All you have to do is pick a kit and get knitting! Be sure to stop by soon and check them out!

Thanks for reading!

This is only a small sampling of all the goodies we got from this fabulous company. Shown are the lotion and lib balm combos as well as the separate lip balms. We also got the small and large bars in Original, Unscented, Lavender, Hawaiian, and two new scents, Spring Meadow and Sweet Honey! These lotion bars make great gifts or even an addition to your knitting bag or purse. I have a bar in just about every bag because you can use it and then go right back to knitting! 

For a deeper moisturizer try the Bee Bar Cream, it takes a bit longer to soak in but the moisture will last and last! Be sure to come give all these goodies a sniff today!

Stay tuned for more updates and an e-mail tomorrow. Thanks for reading!

Can you tell Valentine's Day is coming?? Even if you're not into the whole hearts and love theme, this exclusively dyed Classy is gorgeous! I'm not a huge fan of pink but this combo of brilliant pink and red is pretty great! The picture does NOT do the color justice so be sure to swing by and check it out!
