Knitty City is amazingly well rounded. Knowledgeable staff, excellent selection of yarn, clientèle is fun and friendly.

I have been there for events, classes with staff, classes with artists. They offer the basics in crochet and knitting, but they also change up the additional classes monthly for variety. Some of the classes are (hairpin lace, wire knitting, socks, lace, enterlac, etc.).

The yarn, tools, notions/swag, etc. selection is extensive and if there is not something you need, Pearl the owner will do what she can to order it.

You can also just hang out and knit, there are a few groups, book club, sock support, mens group, kids groups and anything else you can think of. They will also wind yarn or let you wind it if you need to.

Again fabulous all around LYS!

This little shop around the corner is a great addition to the neighborhood. It is a few blocks from my apt and I pop in all the time. The owner Dona is always friendly. If she is ordering food she asks everyone in the shop if they are interested.

The yarn selection is growing for the compact space there are lots of cubbies for yarn. In the first few months there was a basic selection and now that the classroom area is finished the yarn selection has grown and it is overflowing. The selection of books and accessories has also increased.

The class offerings (knitting, crochet, etc.) have started and the classes are well organized and the instructors are knowledgeable and keep your attention.

I go to the Tues SnB and everyone is great and we have lots of fun chatting and knitting.

I wish there was a starbucks closer as I am a starbucks junkie (frapps, iced tea, and cinnamon dolce lattes), but that is not the stores fault. They do have coffee and such available, what can I say...

It is will be interesting to see how this lys progresses!

Sock On!
