I Am Back!


I am back to knitting again, and yesterday I went to a local knit shop. Boy, was I totally surprised! I knew that knit shops were much different than JoAnn or Hobby Lobby, but I did not expect what I found at the Yarn Garden Knit Shop in Lawrenceville. The ladies there were so friendly and welcomed me with warmth and kindness. Jane, showed me all around the shop, told me all about the yarns, needles, notions and what not, and then helped me select a yarn and needles to do an easy scarf. She even GAVE me the pattern! In addition, she told me that I could sit with her and get started if I had the time. Sadly, I did not have the time, but I can't wait to go back. I am going to take classes, starting with "Learn to Knit". I know that I am already a knitter, but I am self taught, and I know that I can learn so much from these ladies. I am excited! I feel that I have found a place that I can hang out, make new friends, and learn this breathtaking craft called knitting. I want to someday make all the beautiful patterns that I saw in the store. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a handbag addict, seriously. The handbags that you can knit are simply endless, and that just makes my heart flutter! Not to mention the soft and warm baby yarns, cashmeres, cotton blends, oh, it is just too much for a woman to take in, in an hour's time. Thank you Jane! I am a customer for life.
