Our shelf unit collapses in the
middle of Main Street
Although we tried to be as creative as possible, it did not take long to outgrow our measely 400 square feet. If you are familiar with where we are located in Babylon village, then you know that retail vacancies are rare and rents are generally astronomical. We patiently bid our time hoping for just the right new spot. An initial deal fell through but fortunately a better one replaced it. Two years after opening, we made the big move just around the corner to our present location at 57 West Main Street. Although still not big enough for all we'd like to do, our new space is warm and far more accomodating. The downside is it's not being entirely visible from the street. Located down a driveway and behind another store, new customers sometimes have difficulty finding us but seem to be quite happy once they do. Our large central knitting table, usually filled with our favorite cast of characters is always welcoming. Before long, total strangers become good friends, not only sharing their latest knitting accomplishments but often their deepest secrets. The near instant comraderie among knitters never ceases to amaze me. Most days, I really love this business.
