They either stand in groups and have chats (ignoring me) or when someone does talk to a customer they sound short and quite rude. I've seen this happen to other customers in the store too. Also, the last time I was there I bought a Rowan hank and the owner told me I'd have to wind it myself on their swift/winder -- which has never happened to me before! Since I live near so many shops I don't have to go there (Full Thread Ahead is now open on Main St. in Los Altos).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033903.post-1107381656670731002005-02-02T14:00:00.000-08:002005-02-02T14:00:00.000-08:00I've been meaning to go up to creative hands some ...I've been meaning to go up to creative hands some time, but now I'll probably hold off for a while due to finances and Stitches West coming up. I've been thinking about organizing some sort of email list for the bay area knitters group so people could let each other know about local sales... or have some spot we could post it on the homepage...Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410225093251702448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033903.post-1107281657797055702005-02-01T10:14:00.000-08:002005-02-01T10:14:00.000-08:00I was just complaining that none of the yarn store...I was just complaining that none of the yarn stores around here have sales. And then I missed one! I do like Uncommon Threads more than Knitter's Studio.

They were nice to me the first few times I went in, but I guess my son is a bit more active than they like in their store and now I get dirty looks! Bah.<br /><br />Also, once I went in, picked out the needles I needed and stood at the register for about fives minutes waiting for one of the salesladies to stop teaching people to knit and ring me up. They never did, so eventually I put my stuff back and left. <br /><br />I do like how they are organized though, and they have a pretty good selection. Oh, and much better prices than the Knitter's Studio, but that's not hard to do!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927734538960396940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033903.post-1107209654537928072005-01-31T14:14:00.000-08:002005-01-31T14:14:00.000-08:00thanks Diann!

I just want to feel the yarn. <br />I planning a drive down to L.A. and hit a couple in a month or so. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to getting the pastor hat to see what you did. And possibly feel a new fiber? He may not want the hat after I finish touching it. I did a simple black beanie hat out of wool ease.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846615739374621556noreply@blogger.com
