Come on down to commuknity where it is 78 degrees all summer long! It's the perfect temperature to knit what ever suits your fancy.
Kids are out of school and vacation time is here. Many people will not be traveling or traveling far this summer but this need not change your plan to spend some quality time knitting. Whether you go away or stay home, you can finally have the time you want to make something new!
We have some great new yarns in the shop just in time for your summer knitting pleasure. Or maybe you are thinking about starting on those Christmas stockings or holiday gifts. What ever you are thinking of making, we have what you will need to make it!
Check out our selection of Blue Sky Alpaca organic cotton, and their wonderful summer patterns, our new selection of Heritage hand painted sock yarn or Conjoined Creations 'Flat Feet'! The yarn is painted onto flat panels. You simply unravel it as you knit the socks. It is really fun and the colorways are fabulous. Remember that if you get the "urge to splurge" after hours, we are now open for business 24/7!!! with our new online store. Although we currently do not have all the yarns we carry in the shop online, you can order them by phone and we can ship them to you.
"Hey Knitter, Knitter" -- Tuesday, July 22nd, we have our first ever bus trip heading up to Giants baseball Stitch and Pitch Night. Erin McGee from Bobbin's Nest is joining efforts with us to put together a fun evening of knitting, eating and oh yeah…baseball! We have a party bus leaving from commuknity at 5:30pm for the game. There will be munchies and a goodie bag included. Let us do the driving and parking. The cost is $40.00. Call either store for details. Commuknity-408-293-9333. Bobbin's Nest- 408-246-1121.
Speaking of summer fun…the kids are having fun, too at our Fiber Day Camp. They are busy dying yarn, making needles and doing some great needle felted flowers. Each week they learn something new and different. They are working on their knitting skills on an individualized basis, so each child can go at their own pace. Call the store to enroll your young fiber enthusiast.
We will continue to offer our appreciation for shopping with us through our Customer Rewards Program. We are adding a new twist to the great value you receive by shopping with us. Starting July 10th, we are enhancing our rewards program by giving you a 10% discount coupon to be used on your next purchase after earning 100 points in our rewards program. This is a great opportunity to use that discount to stock up on some of your favorite yarns. We have an online rewards program as well so now there are two ways to save!
We will again offer our Third Saturday Free demo day. On July 19th we will be demonstrating a market bag…perfect for the local farmer’s market or the beach.
Enjoy the lazier days of summer and be sure to include some knitting!
Happy Knitting,
Gail and the staff at commuknity
