WHAT IS THIS MEMBERSHIP?

This past year has been hard, y’all! It’s been hard for a lot of small businesses, and we are no exception. We’ve been brainstorming ways to keep on keeping on, and one exciting idea we came up with (with a LOT of input from other small biz friends) is this: the Friends of Knitted Wit’s Craft Emporium Membership. If you want to accomplish both the goals of seeing Knitted Wit & Craft Emporium survive, even thrive, AND have access to awesome patterns, how-tos, discounts, and private virtual hangs with awesome people, consider joining the club!

You can sign up for any of the levels here; please note that this will be a recurring membership, renewing every month. Membership perks begin in January 2024.

$5/month:

  • The perk of helping a small business succeed, by allowing us to host shopping events and community-building gatherings, such as the New Year's Cast-On/Vision-Boarding , or our annual Palentine's Day, Harvest Festival, and ShannaJean Birthday Party events (among so many others!).

$10/month:

  • The perk of helping a small business succeed, PLUS:
  • A 10% discount on all regularly-priced items at the Craft Emporium shop (both online and in person).

We have the first half of the year plotted out, and, y'all, our friends are talented! The patterns/tutorials listed below are available at the $15/month or more levels:

  • January: Shannon will be teaching some string art techniques, perfect for decorating cardboard journal covers (we'll have kits of these) and/or greeting cards.
  • February: Noriko Ho will be demonstrating her garter tab starting technique for top-down knit triangular shawls, and y'all will receive her Paulette pattern for free!
  • March: Kira Dulaney will be sharing tunisian crochet techniques (specifically how to start the pattern she's sharing with us) and her Wind & Sea Shawl.
  • April: Makenzie Alvarez, cable queen, will be sharing cabling best practices & a lovely cabled sock pattern!
  • May: Maria Negrete will be teaching us how to make project bags, so we can be ready for all of our summer crafting! Maria is the owner of A Needle Runs Through It, and is our go-to for any time we have sewing or sewing machine questions!
