Newest Addition to Seattle Yarn

Ruth is happy to introduce us to West Bowen Williams. After a month of relaxing at home with his mom and dad, West will probably be seen at the yarn shop where he will be assisting Ruth. We are thrilled to finally have this little one in our lives.

Knit Night Celebration--August 29

We've been going all over town with our Knit Nights and now we're coming home. Sunday, August 29, we are going to celebrate Artistic Framers 20th anniversary. We've been neighbors with them for 13 years and it's time to throw a party together. We're putting up the tents, setting up the tables and BBQ and inviting the whole family to come out and enjoy one of the last days of summer. Bring your projects, too, and enjoy a few good laughs as we help each other get through these interesting times.
We are hosting two benefits during this event.
First we are doing a school supply drive for the foster children at TreeHouseforKids.Org.
Now more than ever these children need a helping hand.
Then we've invited the folks from the National Bone Marrow Organization. They will be available to screen people for the Be The Match Registry. Currently the only hope for survival for Leukemia patients is a bone marrow match. Marrow.Org has more information.
Hopefully the weather will be great and we'll fill the tents with community starting at 5 pm.

Stitch 'N Pitch--Play Ball!

August 5 is the date and we are getting ready for more striking fun with our needles and crochet hooks. Tickets are now available at Seattle Yarn--$15 each and we'll throw in a free punch on your yarn card for every ticket purchased.
Debbie Bliss will be there to throw out the first ball and Bobble heads will be given out until they run out.
Here's a picture from last year with Lia, Ruth and Sue. What can I say, we gotta lotta balls.

The First Ever July Tent Sale

This is the big one--come early and enjoy great bargains, great laughs and lots of yarn. We set up the tent every year but this year we are coordinating with the rest of the street fair merchants in West Seattle even if we aren't in the Junction proper.
Our sale starts on Thursday, July 8, from 10-8 and runs from 10-5 Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Everything will be at least 10% off with great big discounts for end of season, discontinued and unloved yarn. This year we are also offering samples at great prices so you can get some early gift shopping started.
Apparently our weather was really good last August so let's pray for good weather for all of West Seattle during this summer festival.
