Last Week at Staci’s Stitches

11/28/2018

The last two weeks saw some changes at the shop! It’s beginning to look very festive for the holidays! With yarn bowls filled with peppermints, hot cocoa at the tea bar and sugar beet accessories ornaments for sale on the tree!

Would you like that yarn bowl for Christmas, some hand dyed yarn, or a special book? We have new wishlists at the register that you can fill out and give to a loved one. They can come in and shop right for you with our help!!

New in at the shop we’ve expanded our pattern books, holiday Stitch Markers, Holiday colors in Hypnotic Yarns like Grinchmas and Winter Rain. We also saw a new Sugarbush worsted - Bold popped up at the shop for Small Business Saturday where we had a huge Sugarbush sale and gave away mugs!

The week before Thanksgiving I hosted my first social. The NorEaster held off just until we were leaving and 13 brave weatherproof women came, ate treats and talked all things yarn. This was so much fun. Last night we had another group of women. Some fresh faces and some returning friends. We had lots of laughs, discussed projects, researched and shared patterns and the lemon cake by Mary was amazing.

Classes are now up on the website and spaces are still left in Beginners Knitting, Advanced Beginners Knitting and Intermediate Crochet. I was completely shocked that my beginners crochet class sold out in 5 hours. I hope I can live up to that level of enthusiasm! New Beginners Crochet will start in March where I will have 2 dates to try to keep up with demand!

As we end month 2, I feel pretty settled in shop life and have started planning new ideas to enhance the store and help our customers. At Thanksgiving I felt so grateful for my supportive family who believed in me so much to make this shop a reality and all of you for making it such a success. I often reflect on my life this time of year and all the difficult things I’ve had to walk through and could not be more grateful at how things have turned out right now in this moment. I hope you are all enjoying the gifts of the holiday season as well.

The shop was busy with students last week as our first set of classes got underway! Everyone I spoke to were enthusiastic and excited about learning to knit. It was amazing to see Michelle and Lisa teach. They have both done a phenomenal job. We look forward to posting more classes for sign ups this weekend.

We welcomed Mary Blanco last week as a new member of the Staci’s Stitches Team! Mary is a creative knitter who is enthusiastic about our yarns. She is super kind and helpful. We are very lucky to have her on board. She will be working for me this Sunday if you’d like to come say hello!!

My daughter and her friend tried out our new Staci’s Stitches Mugs. I’m not quite sure how I feel about my name being on a mug but it sure makes the tea bar look nice. We will be giving 20 mugs away to the first 20 customers who purchase items on Small Business Saturday, November 24th. Along with other sales and specials it should be a fun and fantastic day!

I know now some people want to specifically see and talk to me in person. Most days can I be found at store Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I’m available on those days for consultation or just to chat while I work.

Until then, Happy Knitting and Crochet!

Last week started with Fall for Scituate which had a record turnout!! It was amazing to see all the people coming by the shop and sharing their well wishes. Events like these are a fantastic reminder of what a supportive amazing town I live in. We had a surprise visitor that day too! Did you get a chance to see the baby chick at the shop? Her caretaker had car issues and while she sorted it out we kept her nice and warm in the store! It was nice to hear the peep peeps amongst the yarn.

We have received lots of new yarns last week. Besides brand new patterns in Hooked, there are New colors in Cascades Magnum and Cherub DK to check out and Sugarbush Dawson Chunky Llama yarn in finally in!

We've also had many small visitors this week with their moms and Dads. Did you know that besides the tea bar in the back we also have kids snacks, water and buckets of toys to keep your little one happy as you shop for yarn. This little one knew exactly where the snacks were on her second visit and went and helped herself. So bring the kids to the amazing playground behind the shop and back to the store for snack!!

We brought a new employee on staff as well! Please welcome Kathy Riley, a proficient knitter and Marshfield native. Kathy will be working most weeks 12-5 on Thursdays and Sundays and is here to answer the toughest knitting questions.

Last but but not least, as we finish our first month of business I want to thank you for your support, encouragement and kindness. I’m so appreciative of your business and you have made this transition for me a Joy!
