WHAT'S NEW AND FEATURED FOR FALL

Can you believe we are already upon the fall season?! I hope you
find the latest in knitting patterns from HeartStrings will tempt
all those knitting customers of yours returning from summer
activities to their knitting needles. 

The initial shipments of HeartStrings' newest release have been
mailed and I am ready to take additional orders now. The new
release included 3 new designs in a nice mix of projects and yarn
weights to inspire your customers who are looking for great
projects to knit for the fall -- women's vest in DK weight, baby
blanket in sport weight, and socks in fingering weight. 

See #W33 Sweet Melody Vest, #H55 Filigree Lace-edged Baby Blanket,
and #S02 Beaded Faux Argyle Socks at

AS SEEN IN ...
The following patterns are featured in the Top Ten advertorials of
the fall issues of these knitting magazines. Keep these
HeartStrings patterns in mind as you place re-stocking orders as
there are likely to be knitters especially looking for them -- 

#H02 Playing in the Leaves is featured in Verena Knitting.

#H55 Filigree Lace-edged Baby Blanket is featured in Knit 'n Style
http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/a55.shtm

Playing in the Leaves is also in the Good Finds editorial column of 
Living Crafts magazine and in the rotating sponsorship ads at the 
Knitty website for their fall issue, so we expect this pattern to 
be especially popular at this time of the year.

SPOTLIGHT SUGGESTIONS FROM THE FALL FAVORITES COLLECTION
For additional temptation for your customers returning from summer
activities to their knitting needles, I have some suggestions for
fall-themed patterns that you can spotlight in your store.
"Colorful Splendor" and "Maple Leaves" scarf patterns can be used
as a narrow wrap about the shoulders or easily widened if a larger
stole is preferred.

Another idea is to take a favorite plain-ish shawl and dress it up
with knitted leaves in fall colors. Check out the "Playing in the
Leaves" and "Oak Leaf" designs --

projects together, there are links under the Fall Favorites section
of the Holidays/Seasonal Design Collections at the HeartStrings
FiberArts website.

"WHERE TO BUY" LISTING

I think I am caught up with updates to the Store Locator listing at
the HeartStrings website. You should be listed if you have
purchased patterns within the last year. To assist new customers
finding you to buy HeartStrings patterns, could you please check
that your information is current and correct? Thanks a bunch.
