Nope, nothing has changed in the last two years. In fact, 88 Stitches is one of the least pretentious and most welcoming shops in the Lower Mainland. I have put up with some pretty snooty and sometimes bizarre behaviour from other shops locally, but have never had a bad experience at 88 Stitches. I am willing to forgo visiting the two shops that are far more local to me to make the trip out to 88 Stitches just because of the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. I find their yarn and pattern selection has only gotten better, and I (and my two young children) are always welcomed. I have never been made to feel like I was in their way or taking up their personal time, but then, I don't like being hovered over when I shop (this is true in any store, not just a yarn shop) and I don't expect others to parent my children when I'm shopping with them. I am always greeted cheerfully, asked if I need help, and have always had my questions answered. Keep up the great work, 88 Stitches.
