I agree with Heather. I too am a shop owner and realize the importance of customer/owner communication. It is much more beneficial to both parties if customers make their wishes known. I guess if someone is leaving a negative comment, perhaps they didn't feel comfortable discussing things with the owner, but if at all possible, communication is the better route to follow.

I too am surprised since I am the owner and I ALWAYS at least say "hello" !

The above post (Oct 01 2009) was in response to a comment that has been deleted. The comment, left by "needle" on Oct 01, made reference to our shop as primarily cross stitch; stated that there were no "real knitters", and mentioned that there was a lack of yarn. As always, we welcome all needleworkers be they knitters, crocheters, needlepointers, cross stitchers, or any other fiber enthusiasts, to visit Village Stitches in person and journal their experiences here on knitmap. Your opinions are valuable. We appreciate your business and we hope you will love our shop as much as we do.
