Fox in the Morning and Holiday Hours

This morning Keith Kaiser from Fox in the Morning came down to the Knit Nook to knit, spin, talk, and torture--I mean play with Suzanne's angora rabbit, Cardigan. It was a fun time. Thanks to everybody who watched and a special thanks to T and Suzanne who braved a cold, very early morning to come down. If you missed us, click here to watch a clip.

I also want to remind everybody about our Holiday Hours.

We will be closed December 24, 25, and 26. Merry Christmas!

December 27- 30, we will be open 12- 5 pm. Happy Birthday to me!

We will be closed December 31 and January 1. Happy New Year!

Regular hours will resume Saturday, January 2. That includes Beginning Knitting and Crochet.

If you have any questions, please call us: 502-452-1919

And here's another little reminder: the Superbowl Sunday Sale is six weeks away!

Fox in the Morning

This Wednesday, December 16, we'll be on Fox in the Morning, 5 am - 9 am. So be sure to tune in, or stop by if you're up early enough.

This is a picture of Keith Kaiser and me two years ago during the Knit Nook's first Fox in the Morning appearance. That's right, this will be our third year!

Yarn Amnesty Day

If you've been to the Knit Nook lately, you'll notice that there's a lot of yarn. I know that's kind of like saying, "Hey, look at this water. It's really wet!" (I mean, we are a yarn store: who else would have a lot of yarn?) But seriously. Even by our standards, there's a lot of yarn around.

Particularly in the office. Now whenever you, our loyal and lovely customer, comes into the shop and wonders if you need five skeins or six for the vest you are knitting, I will usually offer to put a skein in the back for you (because I am JUST that helpful!) So, in the back that skein goes. Now multiply that scenario by five hundred and you can see just how crowded the office is getting. Even I've thought about cleaning it (and if you ask Cindy, that means the situation is dire!)

To combat this problem, we've declared November 23 Yarn Amnesty Day. That's when all of the yarn imprisoned without charge or representation will be freed. So, if you have yarn in the back that you would like us to hold for you beyond November 23, please call and claim your skeins. Otherwise, back into the wide world it goes! (Or, back on the shelves in the tiny yarn store.)

Knitting and World War II

Knitting was a way for the homefront to support the front lines. To help kick off the new exhibit World War II: 48 Local Stories that Changed the World at the Frazier International History Museum, we will be knitting authentic World War II socks (pattern courtesy from the American Red Cross) Saturday, October 10, 12-4 pm.

If you would like to come knit with us, please let us know. Or come down and visit. The exhibit looks very interesting!
