Dear customers and
friends!
Sorry, I'm late this month - I will make my
introduction short today.
Summer was just flying by and we hold on to it as
long as we can. The world moves on, though, and we
are fully prepared to help you with your
Fall/Winter projects. New yarns, shades,
accessories and pattern books abound!

Knit in the Park 2009 and the Chemo
Cap project was a huge success and fun. Worth to
brag about - below.
The Fall Classes are starting soon,
a new Yarn of the Month is out, and the number of
customers is growing. This is all wonderful,
Thank you for your support!

(Free) Patterns of the Month
Inge thinks that we gave you many free patterns and
sources of free patterns (see
web site), and that it is the time
now to remind everybody of what a wonderful
selection of knitting and crochet books, pattern
books and single patterns we offer in our store and
web site - and actually sell!
See our 20% book
discount initiative below! 
We just added 15 wonderful new books
alone to our
online book selection and got MANY new
Berroco pattern booklets as well,
plus Sassy Skein pattern kits and more. Also, we
carry a lot of own patterns in store (and PDF files)
which are free with the purchase of yarn.
Ask us!
Check out the
new books, many of them with previews,

one may have it's benefit.
