We'll be back in the shop next week, but until then, we're still cheering on every stitch from afar. 💛

🧶 A little shop-hours heads up!

Happy Monday, friends!

Can you believe we're already heading into the final stretch of our Summer Stitch Games?

This summer has been filled with creativity, laughter, new friendships, and so many beautiful projects. As we begin wrapping things up, we've still got plenty of fun ahead—including one of my favorite gatherings of the year!

Let's make this a great week!

🏅 Summer Stitch Games

We're entering the final week of the Mystery Project Challenge!
If you've been stitching along, now's the time to finish those last clues and bring your mystery project to life.

✨ Bring a Friend also begins this week! Invite someone new to join you at the shop, introduce them to our wonderful fiber community, and earn another passport stamp.

As Summer Stitch Games begin to wind down, don't forget to fill up those passports! Every stamp gets you one step closer to our prize drawings.

🍦 Ice Cream Social

One of my favorite Summer Stitch Games traditions is almost here!

Join us Thursday, August 13 🕓 4:00–6:00 PM

📍 Wine & Shine – Downtown Excelsior Springs

Whether you've completed every challenge or simply enjoyed stitching along this summer, come celebrate with us! Bring your current project, show off your mystery project, and enjoy an afternoon of ice cream and great company.

I hope to see you there!

🌸 Last Chance – Flora Adora Hat Kits

Tomorrow is the LAST day to pre-order your Flora Adora Hat Kit!

Our Knit Ewe Together Make Along begins in October, and I can't wait to knit this beautiful hat together.

Remember:
🧶 Order through River Heights Yarn Co.
⭐ Add "KET" after your name so your kit is delivered to Knit Ewe Together for pickup.

I hope you'll join us!

🌿 Have You Seen Cottage Garden?

If you haven't stopped in to see Cottage Garden DK from New Garden Yarns, this is your reminder!

Melissa's newest yarn base has been getting lots of attention, and I completely understand why. The colors are beautiful, the yarn is incredibly soft, and I already have a growing list of projects I'd love to make with it.

Come give it a squish—you'll understand. 💚

📅 This Weekend

A quick reminder that Knit Ewe Together will be CLOSED Friday and Saturday for the BBQ & Fly-In festivities in downtown Excelsior Springs.

If you think you'll need yarn this weekend...Come see me early! 😄

I'd hate for you to run out of yarn halfway through your project!

❓Question of the Week

As Summer Stitch Games come to an end...

What has been your favorite project you've made this summer?

I'd love to hear about it—or better yet, bring it into the shop so we can all admire it!

As I look around the shop, I can't help but smile at everything this community has created over the past few months.

Thank you for making Summer Stitch Games such a success.

Now let's finish strong...and then start planning all of those cozy fall projects together.

Happy stitching!
💚 Shawna
Keep on squishin'!

🌿 New Month, New Yarn, New Projects! 💚
Happy Monday, friends!
I absolutely love this time of year. While it's still summer outside, I can already feel everyone getting excited about fall projects. New yarns are arriving, knit-alongs are being planned, and there is so much inspiration around the shop that it's hard to know what to cast on next!
Let's jump in...

🌿 New in the Shop – Cottage Garden DK
It's finally here!
Melissa from New Garden Yarns has officially released her beautiful new yarn base, Cottage Garden DK, and I think you're going to fall in love with it.
This gorgeous new yarn has a wonderfully soft hand with beautiful drape, making it perfect for lightweight sweaters, shawls, and accessories you'll reach for all year long.
The first seven colorways are inspired by life around the farm, and they are absolutely stunning. Stop by the shop and see them in person—I have a feeling these won't stay on the shelves for long!

🌸 Flora Adora Hat Make Along
There's still time to reserve your spot!

We'll be casting on the beautiful Flora Adora Hat together this fall, meeting every Saturday from October 3–24 at 2:00 PM for lessons, tips, and Q&A.
Kits are ordered through River Heights Yarn Co. and will be delivered to Knit Ewe Together for pickup.
⭐ Be sure to add "KET" after your name when placing your order so River Heights knows to send your kit to us.
📅 Pre-orders close August 11!
We'll have the sample hat and yarns in the shop very soon—I can't wait for you to see them!

🎨 Summer Stitch Games
The Wild Card Color Challenge continues, and I continue to be amazed by everyone's creativity.
Watching you take a mystery color and turn it into something beautiful has been so much fun!
Keep those progress photos coming and don't forget to stop by the shop—I love seeing what everyone is making.

🐂 Purlie's New Adventure!
Purlie's newest collectible stitch marker has officially arrived!
As always, only 20 were made, and I haven't decided if this design will ever return.
If you've been collecting Purlie's adventures, be sure to stop by before this one disappears!

📖 Missed an Email?
Life gets busy!
If you ever miss one of my Monday emails or a social media post, you'll now find them on the Knit Ewe Together blog on our website.
It's a great way to catch up on shop news, project inspiration, and everything happening around the shop whenever it's convenient for you.

❓Question of the Week
What project are you planning to cast on this fall?
A sweater? A pair of socks? The Flora Adora Hat? Or maybe something from the beautiful new Cottage Garden yarn?
Hit reply or tell me the next time you're in the shop—I always love hearing what's on your needles (or hooks)!

Thank you for making Knit Ewe Together such a welcoming place to gather, learn, laugh, and create together. Every project you share, every class you take, and every visit to the shop helps make this community so special.
I can't wait to see what you'll make next!
Happy stitching,
💚 Shawna
Keep on squishin'!
