Crazy Girl Yarn Shop - Knitting Supplies, Knitting Yarns and Knitting Classes

Learn To Knit:
Anytime - no appointment necessary!
Any of our store staff will be more than happy to help you pick out needles and yarn and sit down for your first knitting lesson on the spot - go home with a scarf in progress!

Open Knit:
Anytime
We know there are lots of things that keep you from getting any knitting done at home - kids, pets, phones, chores, homework. Pull up a chair and knit with us - we're glad to have you anytime!

This group of Crazy knitters really knows how to get your week into gear! Bring your knitting and join us for a morning of coffee and camaraderie that will quickly become a necessary part of your week.

The Knitting Doctor Is In!

Sock knitting is wildly popular - get in on the fun!

We will make a basic shell or a lace shell. The basic shell is one of those "dress it up or dress it down" must haves for your summer wardrobe. The lace shell is easy and fun - a perfect way to get beyond the stockinette stitch and try something new. Both shells are pretty and flattering. One of my favorite projects for summer.
