Shop Transformation

Update: We have completed the shop improvements and transformations that were planned for September. Many of you have seen the part of the transformation shown in the photo above which was completed over Labor Day weekend.

Highlights include: better book displays, a streamlined half price room area, more shelving dividers in the back part of the shop to better showcase yarns, fresh paint throughout the shop, and more!

Thank you: Many helpers made this transformation possible and at the risk of missing someone (please forgive me if I do), I want to give a special shoutout to the main crew who were able to go above and beyond, spending many hours with me to design and sweat out the result: Shelby, Andy, Robin, Monica, Lisa, and Ira

Everyone is finding the look and feel delightful and bright so far! Come in and enjoy the new look!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Breast cancer awareness holds a special place in my heart for many reasons, so I feel that it is important to recognize it. To that end, we will be collecting Knitted Knockers and chemo caps that anyone knits or crochets.

How to participate: We will give a stamp on your loyalty card for each set of 2 hats, or set of Knitted Knockers you knit or crochet and donate. We would like for you to use yarn from the shop to make your creations to be rewarded with stamps.

Patterns & yarns: The knittedknockers.org website has pattern, size, and yarn information. We carry the preferred yarns from their list of Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton and Cascade Pandamonium.

Chemo caps: There are many Chemo Cap patterns on Ravelry. For yarn, it is recommended that a soft yarn be used - such as cotton. We can help you select something nice.
