Hi, and welcome!

I've been a craft-a-holic all my life. Knitting is one of my passions, and I jumped at the opportunity to own a knitting store so I could share my love of yarn and knitting with others, especially children. I enjoy making scarves that I can also give as gifts. I have three Yorkies and will be customizing sweater patterns for them. Look for these in the store!

Now that my two children are grown and on their own, I'm excited about starting a new chapter in my life with this wonderful venture. As much as I love the yarn, even more I love the people I meet "through" the yarn. I enjoy the camaraderie shared among crafters, and the instant bond that appears when two people discover their shared passion for all things yarn.

When I'm not knitting, I love to golf, garden, read, watercolor and travel. I never leave home without my copy of  The Knitters', Crocheters', Weavers', & Spinners' Travel Guide. Knit This, Purl That! will be included in the 2007 edition, coming out this spring.

Our staff members are passionate about knitting and some who have recently changed careers are looking forward to working in the Yarn World!

At Knit This, Purl That!, we support women helping women, by featuring wonderful yarns and fibers created by free trade groups and/or individual women. These include Rio de la Plata, Marisol, Rainbow Fibers, and Manos del Uruguay.

Please come by and meet our wonderful staff, including my daughter Allyse, who will be leading children's parties, as well as Beth, Lyda and Darlyne, our fabulous and experienced knitting instructors.

We look forward to meeting you!
