*Fall Yarn Update*

We have been busy unpacking boxes after boxes of new fall yarn.  Most of
them are now here.  We have the usual suspects: Rowan, Classic Elite,
Berroco, Plymouth, Brown Sheep, Tahki Stacy Charles, as well as many
independent hand-dyed and specialty companies.  On the way are more colors
of Cascade 220 and Superwash, Schaefer, and Blue Sky Alpacas.  We also have
the latest magazine and booklets from Rowan and Classic Elite.  As the
summer winds down, come see what's new for this fall!  Perhaps one of the
classes (see the end of this e-mail) will inspire you!

*Labor Day Closing*

Knitting Etc. will be closed on Monday, September 7 for Labor Day.

*September Happy Hour & Sale*

Come to the next Happy Hour on

*Friday, September 4, from 5 to 7 pm*

Join us for this social knitting time, meet some new people, re-connect with
others, and just hang out. We’ll chat, knit, gossip, stitch, wind down after
the long work week, and shop this month’s Happy Hour Sale! We will not be
offering any knitting instructions or help, just a knitting visit…. The
event is free. First come first serve. We have seats for approximately 15
people. Feel free to bring a snack or drinks to share!

We will announce the details for the September Happy Hour Sale a week prior
to the event.
