A sad goodbye from John and Joy

Dear Friends

As many of you are now aware, we are closing Knit Together for good. For us, as for you, this is a very sad thing.

I want to stress that YOU (our customers and friends) are not the reason. Rather, the lack of ENOUGH customers, combined with too much space and thus too much overhead, is what finally is forcing us to close. Over the last 15 months or so, we have seen both the number of people coming in and the amount they are spending, drop by a combined 55%, while our rent continues to climb. This is just untenable, and our accountant told us so in no uncertain terms.

We have loved having you in the store, and particularly how so many of you have taken us under your wings. You have been real friends and we are better for having known you.

Joy and I hope that someone (soon!) will want to pick up the torch and start their own version of Knit Together. We will be glad to offer any help we can. You can reach me by email at johnATknittogetherDOTcom or johnATktogDOTcom for the forseeable future.

All our love and best wishes,

John and Joy

New Year Explorations

Ah, a new year brings new possibilitites of fiberliciously new projects to create! Twelve new months to explore new stitches, and new fibers! I love it!

Speaking of which, at yesterdays "Crochet Stitch'n Chat" we had quite the Show & Tell:

Olga showed off her new cardigan ... one of the Ann Norling patterns KT offers .. only Olga jazzed her version up by using the "Crochet & Weave" technique. It's a real stunner!

Madeline showed off another sweater (AND THE BUTTONS TOO!) she designed for her grandson. "He wasn't too happy I took it back from him," she said, "so I could show it to you all today." We're glad you brought it in, Madeline -- it looks fantastic!

Haley was recently given a crochet challenge too. She and her young son had "hat day" at school where they were challenged to create their own hat.

He wanted to be a knight; so after they were done creating the hat, her son turned to her and requested she magically create the "mesh" that goes under it. As any good Mom would, she dove into her yarn stash, found just the right yarn (& color shade!), grabbed a crochet hook and custom designed the mesh to complete the ensemble. Haley reports that he was one happy boy!

The sad part of this class was in saying "goodbye" to Haley as she's moving to a new "castle" over an hour away from KT. Haley has been coming to my classes since the store first opened and she will be greatly missed. Hopefully she'll be able to pop in for a visit now & then.

So what about A New Year of Explorations I mentioned earlier? We're in the process of exploring the wonderful world of Tunisian stitches -- where crocheters can Knit & Purl just like Knitters do, only it's done with a long crochet hook. Lori is busy trying one of Doris Chan's patterns, Madeline is working on a reversible hat pattern I designed, and Olga -- well, she says, "Just you wait, I'll have something to show you next week." We can't wait!

If it seems being in class is a lot of fun, you're absolutely right! Come, join in on the fun and, while you're at it, learn something new about the fiber art you love!

Until next time,

December Finished Projects

We've had customers drop by with the most creative finished projects lately....

Amy designed this Christmas stocking and it's charming.




Joanne finished her demi-shawl and it's fantastic. She's looking forward to other Jane Elliott designs. I love the black and white combinations.




















Ann created her own dog sweater design using Tessin yarn (1 1/2 skeins). It's adorable!





Jill has been creating wonderfully creative scarves combining Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande and novelty yarns like Dune. The scarf on the left inspired me to make my own combination using purple Baby Alpaca Grande and Dune. I love how she puts the contrast yarn at the bottom so you enjoy the softness of the yarn around your neck and the color statement of the combination of yarns at the bottom.





Ducky made this scarf out of buffalo yarn, yes, buffalo yarn! It's very soft.

Doris Chan's Visit to KT

Yesterday afternoon KnitTogether was delighted to host designer Doris Chan's visit for her first book signing in Connecticut. Doris, who resides in Pennsylvania, brought with her many of the amazing garments featured in her new book, "Amazing Crochet Lace; New Fashions Inspired by Old-Fashioned Lace" and charmed all those that visited with her. For those she autographed books for she also held a drawing -- someone won enough S. Charles' "Ritratto" to crochet the heavenly soft "Allegheny Moon Mobius" that is featured on page 40 in her book. {{Congratulations to the winner!}}

She discussed with us how she combines ideas of yesterday's fashions -- from stitches & motifs with everything in-between -- which she draws inspiration from, to create her modern fashions that have graced many magazine publications of today.

To the delight of all those in attendance yesterday, Doris also demonstrated her "base chain single crochet" technique and explained why she loves it so much. "The mere fact that it instantly provides a finished edge," she said, "make it worth using it. And because it's not as rigid as a starting chain it adds to it's value." Everyone who gave the technique a try instantly realized it's potential!

Everyone enjoyed Doris visiting the shop ... and what's this? Doris will have another new book out in the fall of 2007? We're looking forward to seeing her latest creations!
