Halloween Party

Wear a costume and you'll be entered to win a prize!

Treats galore!

JOIN US FOR A SUPER-SPECIAL FINAL FRIDAY!

Breast Fest ICT is being hosted by Twist, Harmonious Posh, Bohemia Spa, Savage Threads, and Bungalow 26. We are raising money for Victory in the Valley, an organization that helps Wichitans with cancer.

We have works by the generous and talented April Scott, whose fiber art is justifiably renowned:

These gorgeous gourds are by Judy Lee Carter, breast cancer survivor and Victory in the Valley Employee Extraordinaire:

And we've got some special-edition stitch markers by yours truly.

Door prizes include a handcrafted fiber art pin from April, a knitted aromatherapy mask by our own Alice King, and a pair of Twist's Ashland Sky sacks.

We're also doing a bake sale. It will be worth your time just to see the surprise cakes.

Two Ways to Protect your DPN Projects

Nifty gadgets! Keep your needles together, prevent your work from slipping off your needles in your bag.

This is the Stitch Keeper by Rollie. It comes in different lengths (4", 5", 6", and 8") for needles sizes 0-3, 3-5, or 5-9. $6.50 each.




This is the DP WIP Tube (Double Point Work-In-Progress Tube.) (My brain says, "dip wip.") Anyway...it's expandable up to 10" long, and accommodated my 5 US 3 needles and hat-in-progress very easily. $9.00 for two.

Announcing the Online Store!

The online store is finally live! (Hurray!) There is but a small selection of products available right now - our exclusive line of t-shirts, temporary tattoos, and Twist bags. We'll be adding as demand warrants.

You can get to the store from the home page by clicking "peruse" on the left-hand side of the menu bar.

Look at what you donated!

ELEVEN boxes of needles, books, yarn, and tote bags are going to South Dakota! What a wonderful response. Thank you so much.

This picture is from our packing party last Saturday. A big THANK YOU goes out to Connie, Cass, and Alice, who spent all afternoon sorting, packing, labeling, and taping. You guys are the greatest!
