Learning “something new” in the knitting world is always exciting. We offer a wide assortment of workshops that we are sure you will be interested in taking.
There is now a super comfy couch in the front room where you can sit to study a pattern or just relax & sit & knit. The couch is a great place for “hubby” to sit while waiting for you to finish your shopping. Little ones will find a toy box to keep them busy while Mummy or Grandma are being inspired.
Keep Wednesday afternoons available & join us for Knit & Sip. This is a social time & you may even get some knitting accomplished!
