I ...I have it all in my head and I have for years. I even know the little town I would have it in, it would be warm, inviting, a safe place to plop down and knit or crochet. It would have antiques, comfy chairs and stenciled sayings on the wall like, Life is too short for cheap yarn, or Friends don't let friends knit drunk. It would be open some evenings and have some fun varieties of yarn with a big wooden table smack dab in the middle of the store for teaching, looms, trial yarns or just a place to drop your stuff so you can grab some tea and walk around.<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-22777955976991543432014-08-13T13:15:25.355-05:002014-08-13T13:15:25.355-05:00I love Kathy B's idea!!!

I'd partake of the tea, of course! <br /><br />I have one for you...what do you think a knit shop would have been like if Anne Shirley was the owner? I'm guessing pretty awesome! <br /><br />If I had a shop it would have to slanted more towards the crochet world (oh I'd let the knitters in, but only if they agreed to take a crochet class!). :) I'd probably also have a small section in the back filled with cross stitch stuff, too. A little place to get a spot of tea....sit down a chat with friends sections....hmmmm maybe I need to write a story about all this? Wishing you a yarn filled yummy day sweet friend. (oh, and of course a place for turtles, too!). :) Stitchy Mc Floss https://www.blogger.com/profile/00562041622656969121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-16921659957394485442014-08-13T02:36:29.267-05:002014-08-13T02:36:29.267-05:00My real local yarn shop is in a busy, built-up are...My real local yarn shop is in a busy, built-up area.

I would be a customer and sit and crochet and chat with other ladies! No tea or coffee though, herb teas (Peppermint or Lemon Verbena) would be lovely.<br />Did you know that black tea contains caffeine too? About 75mg agains 150mg of caffeine in a cup of filtered coffee! So you would need two teas to give the same 'high' as a coffee! How about sparkling water with a slice of lemon (no coffee or tea spills on the beautiful yarns!)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-87998738949516792732014-08-13T01:31:53.916-05:002014-08-13T01:31:53.916-05:00Sounds amazing, I would be visiting your fantasy s...Sounds amazing, I would be visiting your fantasy shop everyday. I have also fantasised thus several times in fact. Why can't we actually make it happen, mine extends to cosy chairs where people are sitting enjoying their craft and along with tea and coffee there would be luscious magic cakes to match the magic cats magic because they don't contain a single calorie. There would also be a crafty program something different happening every day. I had better come back down to earth or I'll never get to work this morning haha thank for starting my day with a thoughtful smile :)lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-7406762632271515572014-08-12T23:37:34.770-05:002014-08-12T23:37:34.770-05:00My favorite yarn shop has the yarns organized by w...My favorite yarn shop has the yarns organized by weight and I really like being able to head for the weight I want and see all of my choices.
