Inspiration

People ask “why a yarn shop?” and I admit, it is hard to explain… so, I usually give some examples of shops and places I have been that just became “my happy place.”  Whether it be a wonderful quilt shop, interior design store, garden, or even a wood shop.  There are places we go where colors, textures, architecture and people give us inspiration.  A place of like minds where you don’t have to explain…That is what my Mom, my friend DeeAnn, and I have set out to do… Create a place where people can learn, create, become inspired and just be.

It really started when I walked through the building.  The natural light was just wonderful and the architecture…well, you will have to see that for yourself.  But I got the idea in my head and I just didn’t let it go.  (That is just one of my problems by the way.)  Things started to happen… I had already been a yarn researcher and blog reader for sometime.  Well, mostly since the yarn shops closed here in Frederick.  I knew how find fabulous yarn!  And Mom, well, I can’t explain it but she is one smart crazy lady!  You will see.  Next, DeeAnn sent my mom and I a text with this fabulous yarn lady head picture.  It was dead on.  Different, and that is want we are.   Then weeks of coming up with a name… (what I could do if I could get those hours back.)  I won’t bore you with the other things that weren’t so fun.  But suffice it to say, one thing after another just came together and the next thing I knew, Mom showed up driving a Penske truck with her Red Mini behind all the way from Alabama  and now I have help with the laundry!

There is more to share and learn about us and our new adventure, but that will take a little time.  For now, the count down begins.  22 days till the doors of The Knot House OPENs, and there just isn’t enough hours in the day.
