Serial Knitters Yarn Shop, the third and final shop on my day out with Mo. This is a new shop to our area, located in Kirkland, Washington. The owner Debie Frable was still putting things out, but they were all put together and open for business, there were even some knitters knitting and picking out their next projects.
Along with all brand new inventory, and that new store smell in the air, the thing that really struck me was how excellent the light was. This is very important, especially if you are a yarn shop in western Washington. We definately have our share of gray days. Add some deep purple/black yarn, less than 20/20 vision, and you have yourself less than par conditions for successful knitting.
Debie & staff were so happy to show me around and make me feel very welcome. They had tons of yarn from all makers, even some local yarns. I came away with a company shirt, a ditty bag with their name on it and a fun key chain/measuring tape. I'm all set to strut my Serial Knitters wear, and I don't think I won't. Thank you Debi, and good luck to you and the new store.
The school buses are out and about in these parts, and it really does feel like back to school. Although it's the Labor Day weekend approaching, summer feels like it's coming to a close. I'm already contemplating which purse I need to switch out for after the weekend is over. Don't deny that you haven't been thinking about the same things.
All you yarn shops out there, we want to see your store too. Won't you take some digital snaps and email them over - I'll post for you. We'd love to know what you're up to. I'll be here working on scarf #14.
Fondly,
