First off, I feel the owner of this site needs to read all before anything is put out to the public. The owner of this site needs to know the full names of people putting their opinions here. This is too easy to be able to Slander those you may not like.
Strings and Strands has been around for a very long time. Of course you are going to like the looks, even the smell of a brand new shop. It by the way was not the musty smell someone thougth they smelled. It was a shop in the shopping center and it came through the vents.
I believe we are all grumpy at times and you are going to find this in all of the shops, that is if you really spend time in each one. We are all human. Yes a shop owner should be pleasant all the time but it is not going to happen. I could tell you something about each shop in Atlanta, and one of the things I can tell you is they all can be rude to the customer(s). The best thing now is we all have a choice to go where we want as there are more shops, just do not knock the shops. Say something nice and then go where you are the happiest. Your prices are best at a Strings and Strands and for the most part Barbara and Zena are very nice. Don't judge the shop but its looks, judge it by what is in the shop and who is in the shop.
If you like sitting around a table and knitting maybe this is not the place for you. There are shops that allow this.
Buy the yarn where you really like the yarn.
Remember, be nice to all the shops.

PS: I am not afraid to sign my name and frankly speaking I think there are people that are out to hurt different shops.
