June 2023 Newsletter

So yeah, trying to keep up...how do you manage your time to include all that you HAVE to do, combined with all you WANT to do? Calendars and day planners are good options, but those take up so much time! Plus, I've never been able to fit it all in to a small little square and besides, WHO really wants to live in a box like that? Even if I do manage to utilize my calendar most of the year, summer hits and it's all out the window! So many activities; spontaneous BBQs, festivals, camping trips, beach excursions...those definitely won't fit in a square on the calendar.  One calendar we will be keeping up with is our new birthday calendar!

The Birthday Club
The Birthday Club is here! If your birthday is in June, we want to celebrate with you on Saturday, June 10th! Did you know Knit & Spin is celebrating 5 years? Help us celebrate our birthday too. Each month following, we will have a birthday party for those celebrating in that month. You will receive a gift certificate from K&S and be our special guest/s at the party. Be sure to let us know when your birthday is.

June 10th is also Worldwide Knit in Public Day.  You are officially invited!  Bring a dish to pass, a camp chair, and whatever you want to work on for the afternoon. We will hang out under the canopy from 10:30-4pm. I believe the weather will be fantastic, so even if you can't stay the entire time, we hope you will at least drop by for a birthday cupcake!



Leanne has decided that since her birthday is in June as well, she wants to give you some special discounts. She's planned a sale that will run the entire month of June! It's a month packed with birthday fun!




New yarn line!!!! 

We are excited to announce that Berroco yarns will be joining the current selection of yarn on the shelves very soon. We are planning some CALs and KALs using their free patterns for the upcoming Christmas in July promotion. Watch for updates in our blog and on Facebook and Instagram.

We are at the half way mark for the year and that means "Christmas in July!" Now is the time to start working on Christmas projects and gifts to allow plenty of time to finish! In June we began carrying Berroco yarns. They are a very well loved yarn company that I'm pretty sure you are a familiar with. Not only do they have a great selection of multipurpose yarns, they offer yarns with multiple fibers and colors. You'll find great pattern support and other fun items on their website, Berroco.com. While there, check out some of their other yarn lines which include Lopi and West Yorkshire Spinners.  As we begin our relationship with Berroco, we invite you to participate in a "Summer Tee Party" make-a-long that includes a complimentary pattern! https://media.berroco.com/knitbits/KB870.html Choose any pattern, (doesn't have to be a Tee) and enter the code BerrocoTeeParty to purchase via Berroco.com or Ravelry.com . You can choose any of the knit or croche...

Heritage Breeds Week Livestock Conservancy International Heritage Breeds Week begins and as promised here's more about it, but where to start?? I believe conservancy is in our DNA as Michiganders which plays nicely with Heritage Breed Conservation. The Livestock Conservancy asks that we Share, Advocate and Celebrate the Heritage Breeds. There is so much information it would be hard for me to list it all here.  You definitely NEED to go to their website to see for yourself.
