Bringing a wide variety knitting patterns and the highest quality yarn home to you since 1993

A lady was in the shoppe the other day who wanted to knit a sweater but said she could never do that….she could never tackle making a sweater. She had been knitting for several years but had never ventured on beyond a scarf. After a little encouragement from us, she is now knitting her first sweater. And, she is doing a wonderful job. Sure, she has had a few problems along the way…but, she has come to visit us and we had gotten her back on track each time. My point is this. We always be willing to try new things. We need to have a positive outlook. If we attack something new with the appropriate attitude…..anything is possible. As I tell my customers: If you think you can, you can! If you think you can’t….you’re probably right! It’s all a matter of how you look at things. If we only ever did what came easy to us, we would never progress in our skill level. If we try new things that actually make us think a little, then we learn things along the way!! And, should we get stuck along the way, there is always someone who is willing to help us. One thing I have noticed about knitters and crocheters..they are all willing to share their expertise and love of the arts. So…go ahead and challenge yourself this fall.

A lady was in the shoppe the other day and bought yarn for several projects. When she checked out, she announced that now she had the materials she needed to complete ALL the Christmas presents she needed.

Needless to say, I was absolutely shocked. It’s the middle of summer and she is already that organized for Christmas? I can’t imgaine. I am one of those people who take the holidays as they come….which means I don’t even think about Christmas presents, let alone making them, until after Thanksgiving! I guess it’s a good thing that I am a fast knitter and work well under pressure and a deadline…..or I’d never accomplish anything!! If you want to get a head start and are lacking inspiration…..we can help you there! We have been getting in tons of new yarns for fall along with great patterns for them. Don’t know about you, but I think I am going to try to learn something from my organized customer and make a list of ideas for gifts that I can make and get started!! Who knows, I may not have to have as many late knitting nights this year!
