Happy Birthday, Knitch!
Two Years Ago today, a little yarn shop was born in Atlanta, Georgia. This little shop's mission was to provide a place for the Atlanta Knitting Community to meet, grow, laugh and..KNIT, to stock the most amazing yarns with the friendliest, most knowledgeable staff...and, to have A LOT of fun! We hope we've added a little sunshine to your life over the past 2 years! Today we're celebrating our birthday with cake and champagne...and, the fabulous Allen from Numma Numma has dyed two exclusive colorways JUST FOR US...AVAILABLE JUST FOR TODAY...one colorway is distinctly Knitch and is called Knitch Turns Two and the other, well, it is appropriate for the beverage we're celebrating with today...VERY LIMITED and Available only while supplies last! Happy Birthday Knitch!
