She made the journey to our shop in Fort Wayne a couple months ago to do an interview and tour and you can watch it all here. It was super fun to meet her in person. Her passion for the craft is delightful and she asked some really great questions about the shop.

If you haven't been to the shop in person, watching her episode is a great way to see everything up close. She did such a good job diving into the rows of yarn and showing everything. I do hope you watch and let me know what you think. Would you be interested in me having her back for a meet-and-greet sometime?

Great video. I loved seeing the shop and was so impressed with your knowledge of dyers, yarn bases & color combos. Also I as awed by the organization of your beautiful shop with every skein categorized by manufacturer, stacked neatly and clearly tagged. If I ever get to your shop, I will pack a lunch & perhaps a sleeping bag in order to fully enjoy everything. I’ve been a customer of yours since the bedroom/shop days when you convinced me I couldn’t live without the beautiful green possum belly yarn. So glad to see you doing well.

What a great interview! Now I know I HAVE to come to FT Wayne--in my mind I am already there!

I'm one of your customers who took a trip to Ft Wayne specifically to come to your shop. Watching this made me wish I were there again. I loved the interview. You were poised and informative and the shop was beautiful

I thought you & the yarn were the best part of the video. I’ve been buying the vast majority of yarn I buy from you since you were pregnant with James (who is definitely starting to look like a man - that scary thing that teenage boys do - it feels like one minute they’re still almost s little boy & the next they’re shaving?). I’d love to see the shop & will come to Fort Wayne as soon as this pandemic ends for sure. As someone at high risk because of age, weight, & comorbidities, I’m staying home as much as possible - at least until I can get s booster. I was supposed to be on the west coast visiting offspring right now but the recent surge in COVID made us cancel our trip. That does mean I have ~$1,000 unexpected cash to spend. I’ll spend the weekend winnowing my selections.

I agree that your part of the interview was calming and informative. I was really glad to see the store and the yarn, too. I’ve been a long-time customer. I really want to visit in person when I visit my sister in the Goshen area, but so far it’s been when you weren’t open. Or when there was covid!

I loved this video so much!! Seeing the yarn in the store just made me want to knit all the things!!! I loved discovering new yarns that I have never heard of, and look forward to ordering my own skeins to play with in person! I have also discovered sock knitting during the pandemic and agree that they are the best travel project - with simple patterns not even needing to be read during the foot and ankle portion. So soothing and satisfying!
