Knitters Info archived

I have a client moving into this area ( Millburn ) who loves to knit. She asked if there were yarn stores in the area. Does anyone have any recommendations. Thanks !

KnitKnack on Springfield Ave in Maplewood. Great store, albeit small, with a wonderful owner. Farther afield, there's a decent store in Montclair (Modern) and a quirky one in Upper Montclair whose name I've forgotten. KnitKnack would get my first vote.

@sarahzm - We are fortunate to have a wealth of great stores in the area. Off the top of my head, In addition to Knitknack in Maplewood...

Wool and Grace - Summit
The Blue Purl - Madison
Knit-a-Bit and Do Ewe Knit - Westfield
All About Ewe - Clark
Belladonna's Yarn Room - Cranford

The Stitching Bee is in Chatham, and then there are Down Cellar and Trillium Yarns a bit further afield. I've probably missed some, but that should give your client a starting point.

Oh, and if she's a *serious* knitter, you might want to point her to Vogue Knitting Live coming up in January in NYC: http://www.vogueknittinglive.com/ehome/66410

There's also Accents on Knits in Morristown.

Hi Sarah - there are several knitting groups she can join as well. Put her in touch with me if you wish at EIES./Sherri

There is a very informal group of knitters on MOL that occasionally meet for "knit-ins" in the area. Perhaps she could join up with them sometime?

We have returned to meeting at the train station at about 1000a on Saturday. cd

thanks all !! - and Sherri - I didn't realize you were "Scotland" Hi !

@ceciliadav569 is there a knitting group? I'd love to meet up with fellow knitters (I need motivation to unpack my yarn after moving to SO two months ago!).

@flipfantasia, a small group has met a few times at a Maplewood restaurant. We're aiming for an early December meetup. Keep an eye out for the MOL Knitters (aka Knitters Alert) thread.

There's also a casual group that meets at the Maplewood train station at 10 on Saturday mornings, but I haven't been.

Welcome!

Hi Sarah and flipfantasia. There is a knitting group at the S.O. Library. Not quite sure when they meet but I am sure LL could tell you.

Thanks for the info! I've never really looked at that thread (it's so long and everyone seems to know one another! Makes me kind of shy about butting in!).

I need something on a week night as 2 small kids make day time ones impossible!

The MOL Knitters thread is open to all knitters. Definitely not clubby, so please butt in. I renamed it so we know where to look for knitters updates, but I can change it again if there's something better to call it.

Flipfantasia, I've only ever met one of the people on the knitters' thread, as far as I know! Dive in.
