9th Anniversary and Knitting in Public

Dream in Color Everlasting Sock

This week we are celebrating the 9th Anniversary of the Knit ‘n Needle Yarn Shoppe. All of us who have been long time customers are thrilled that our yarn shoppe continues to thrive in the little green house with the red door. With the greater web presence of the Polka Dot Sheep, it continues to be thrilling to share the house with you virtually as well.

All of us at the Knit ‘n Needle and the Polkadotsheep.com look forward to serving you in our 10th year of business. It is a great time to be a yarn lover. Every day we see great new patterns, innovative designers and yarns, and just more people enjoying knitting and crocheting. Our Ravelry group project page is full of projects from toy monsters to cabled socks, sweaters for all sizes of persons and shawls to hats.

Berroco Vintage wound for use

To top it off, June 9th makes the beginning of World Wide Knit In Public Week which runs through June 17th. So this is a perfect opportunity to score some fabulous yarn; then go show the world how awesome knitting (and crocheting) is.

Go knit in your favorite public space and enjoy yourself!
