  1. So very excited for y’all! How I would love to be able to attend. Know it will be a great success. Congratulations!

  2. Oh how I would love to be there with you all! Hope it all goes well (how can it possibly not with everything you have planned for the grand opening?!!)

  3. Congratulations. Wish you were closer because we would be there to help celebrate. The store looks great.

  4. Congratulations What a fun time for all involved! Wish I could go but just moved to Nome, AK!( Where the musk Ox roam the streets.) Have a great time.

  5. Wow! You have put together such an inviting place with such inviting yarns and most of all such inviting and lovely humans!

  6. Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished
    to say that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts.

    After all I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write
    again soon!

  7. Congratulations, Anne–It’s wonderful to see the various ways your design business has expanded and changed over time–and I am sure it will be lovely to have more space at home;)

  8. Congratulations. Slow and steady wins the race!!You have steadily increased your yarn offerings without risking an all out roll out and flopping. It will be a huge success. Your designs are wonderful. I hope that you have the same things in your online store that you have in the physical shop. And for those of us faithful customers how about including us in the draw for the blanket kit as well if we buy $50 worth of yarn??? on grand opening weekend.

  9. Last weeks NYTimes had an article about economic turn around in Canton and Youngstown (my husbands hometown). Isn’t it nice that you are a part of that? I hope the grand opening went well (more pictures please)
