Ewe Count
The pandemic has all of us staying home more, hopefully knitting more and definitely worrying. Everything as we know it has been turned upside down. Kids are home, businesses are closing their doors temporarily, restaurants also out of the picture in many areas. As lots of you know, I live in Washington state where some of the first cases...

Now In Their 20th Year!
Churchmouse Yarns & Teas was founded on Bainbridge Island, Washington in 2000 with a mission to create a place of community where all are welcome.

A Great Yarn is a yarn shop located on Cape Cod, in a charming 1870's farmhouse in the beautiful seaside village of Chatham, Massachusetts. The name of our shop is a play on our two specialties: fine yarn and knitting products, and quality new and used books. And while we thought a lot about what to call the shop, we put a great deal more...

Makers’ Mercantile
When I hear the word ‘mercantile’, it conjures up visions of an older building full of provisions, from olden days. Makers’ Mercantile, located in Kent, Washington, is far from the olden days, haha, but they are a mercantile. They have provisions for all types of making! The store is good size with great light and […]
On The Road With Ben
I think that is it fitting my journey ends at the local yarn shop that started my knitting adventures. In August of 2018, I was wandering around historic Port Gamble, WA and I walked into The Artful Ewe for the first time. I was just walking from shop to shop, and I did not know […]
