| Boxes are filling up and the
store is a bit messy as we prep for
our move next month, but the good
news is that there are great deals
in the store on both the yarn side
and the needle arts side of the
store.
We've hit the sultry days of
summer, which are ideal for
needlepoint, punch needle, sock
knitting, and lace-knitting and
crocheting. We have lots of
projects to fill those long
hours by the pool or in the
airport or whenever it's too hot
outside to do anything but sit!
The Crochet Guild of America's
Minnesota Chapter will be
meeting at the store on
Saturday, July 12 from 3-5pm.
Come and join the group if you
can!
Happy stitching - Laura

Dear Laura,
|
It's getting hot outside and at 3
Kittens the deals are getting hotter,
too. Sometime next month we'll start to
move into our new space at the
Village at Mendota Heights, so we're
continuing our quest to reduce our
inventory to limit our moving expenses.
Check out our sale items and coupons
below for HOT deals!
Stitch N' Pitch is just around the
corner as well on July 20th. Join us
for a fun-filled afternoon stitching
away as we cheer the Twins on against
the Texas Rangers. We have chartered a
shuttle from the store to the Dome for
those of you who don't want to pay for
gas and parking - plus you'll get even
more stitching time! Tickets are just
$21 per person (plus $15 if you want to
join us on the shuttle).
Have a wonderful Independence Day this
Friday! The store will be closed that
day, but we'll be back on Saturday.
Happy stitching - Laura

Dear Laura,
|
It's the third week in June and officially
summer now. Where has the time flown? Before
we know it, we'll be moved into our new store!
We're preparing for it now as we continue
putting more yarns and threads into our "bag
sale" (see below for more details).
If you haven't gotten your Stitch N Pitch
tickets, it's not too late. We still have game
tickets as well as space on the shuttle we've
chartered. And, if you need a project to work
on while we're at the Dome, we've got lots of
baseball themed items - from canvases to felted
totes - as our 3K Club Perks this month.
Happy stitching - Laura
P.S. Make sure to check for a
BIG BANG
announcement in the July newsletter coming out
next week!
