Need Help?

Working hard on a project and the unthinkable happens! Now you need some help... 

So, where can you go for help?

 

Many Local Yarn Shops (LYS) change their hours with the season or make them complicated and hard to remember. Great for them, so not great for you when you have a problem or need supplies or need help.


Our hours don't change when the weather changes.
Open 10am-9pm Tuesday thru Friday
          10am-6pm Saturday & Sunday

The success of your project is important to us. We love helping you get back on track, finding your next project and trying something new.
             We offer classes nights and weekends, when it fits into your schedule.
                   Our class minimum is 1! If one person signs up for a class, we do it.
                           Your yarn or ours? Either way is fine!
                           We don't want you to worry about where you got your yarn.

We want you to have fun - and learn something.

Did you know... 

...that Stockinette Stitch, also known as Stocking Stitch, probably got it's name from what was being made. Men's and women's hose was knit, in the round using 4 "Knitting Pins". The Knitter - usually a man and a part of the Knitting Guild - only had to knit, there was no purling.

... Most patterns were handed down orally & visually. There weren't many written patterns and those that were published were contained in annual or seasonal compendiums. Knitting, Crocheting, Tatting, Netting and many other forms of hand work were contained in these volumes. So how did a young lady learn a new stitch pattern? By doing it! A part of her work basket was a sampler where she learned and practiced new stitches. If she wanted to use one, she went there for the information. If your grandmother immigrated from Europe or she was part of the first generation born in the US, she probably learned how to "read" stitches. She can look at a piece and recreate it.

What's on Mitzy's Needles? 

Cacti and Succulents! The best way to use up scraps and bits of yarn is to find small things to work on. Never one to waste good yarn, Mitzy found some Cactus patterns and then branched out (so to speak) to Succulents. They are for sale by the pot or in kit form to make your own. The Cacti are knitted and the Succulents are crocheted.
