Knit One, Stitch Too News

It's a new year and we are on to new things. Our challenge in the store is our switch to a new point of sale inventory and sales system. That’s a fancy name for bar codes. It should make things faster, easier, and more accurate, but transitions are not necessarily fun. We very much appreciate your patience while we’re working out the kinks. We found a way to bar code that includes a price on every item and won’t change the price of items already on the shelf when our distributors increase prices. Those are two things that bother me when I shop, and I didn’t want to work that way myself.

Our second biggest and craziest sale is our Mardi Gras Sale. It's early this year, running from February 25 - 28, 2006. Click here for more information.

One of our charity projects is knitting baby blankets or hat/bootie/sweater sets for The Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS). Every baby born in a Marine or Navy family is given a junior sea bag of items and the Society is proud of the fact that they always include hand knitted items. Blankets need to be crib size (36” by 36”) and machine washable. Bring them to the store, and we’ll ship them and put your name into a drawing for a store gift certificate in December. You’ll also receive a very nice pin from the NMCRS for your participation. You’d be stunned to discover how little these men and women are paid to defend our freedom. This is one way we can express our thanks for the job they do.

Our second charity project involves Knitting or Stitching for a Cure to support breast cancer research. For a $10 donation, knitters can select from a host of pink shaded yarns and knit a very long row on our Oddball Shawl. Ten dollars buys a square for stitchers to personalize on a canvas. To date stitchers are ahead of knitters. Once the scarf and canvas are completed, they will be auctioned to raise additional funds for cancer research. Be sure to stop by and thank Betsy Weber, proprietor and owner of Knit One, Stitch Too for her generous support of these two projects.
