May 2009


Summer is upon us once more and while I hate to admit it, business slows down for yarn shops. So, with that in mind, I am changing our hours for the summer season only (I promise!). 


Starting Memorial Day week, our hours will be:

Monday – Closed
Tuesday – 12-5:30pm
Wednesday – 12-9pm
Thursday – 12-5:30pm
Friday – 10:30-7pm
Saturday – 10:30-7pm
Sunday – 12-5pm

Starting Labor Day week, we will go back to our regular hours. (Note: we will not be open on Memorial Day or Labor Day.)

This change will allow us to have earlier classes during the summer months, while allowing us to be open during our busiest hours. Thank you all for understanding.

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day holiday weekend!

Ysolda Teague, a knitwear designer and a blogger who is in the area visiting from Scotland is coming to Knit Happens for a day on Wednesday, May 6 to show off her wonderful knits. You get a chance to touch and try them on and admire her original style. And the first one in the DC area to get your chance to meet Ysolda in person.
