Let's Celebrate -- Party, Sale and Fun

Stitch DC opened in June 2004. I've been so lucky to have enjoyed 4 years of great crafting with so many new friends. June has been so busy that I nearly didn't have a party to celebrate. So better late than never, I say!

What better way to celebrate, then with a blow-out sale! 10-70% off everything in Capitol Hill. We have cool cottons, shimmery silks, wonderful wools, beautiful bamboo and truly terrific tools.

When: June 28 and 29th
Where: Stitch DC Capitol Hill. The biggest and most diverse selection!
Why: To celebrate 4 years and many more to come!

Other Events this weekend:
Beside a super-duper sale (10-70% off), we have some fantastic free events at Stitch DC Capitol Hill.
Saturday 1-3 pm: Free Fair Isle Along with Marie
Sunday 2-4 pm: Free Blanket Craft Along.

I also suspect snacks and treats and some free giveaways on Saturday and Sunday. Giveaways will be from 1-4 pm both days!.

Thank you again for supporting Stitch DC over the past 4 years. This year will be something special. Stitch DC's first book is scheduled for release in November 2008.


I designed all 30 patterns in THE EXPECTANT KNITTER. (and yes, that's Coley on the cover!)

Also look for my designs in Interweave Knits in the Fall 2008 as well as Living Crafts Magazine Fall 2008 issue.

We also have great new yarns and old favorites arriving in the stores almost everyday as we get ready for the Fall Season.

And the Stitch DC family is expanding again... Not another store... No just another baby. I'm the Expectant Knitter again this fall.

Happy Crafting and Thanks Again,
Marie
