I've left The Knitting Room to spend the next month working on The Loop!
Yarn and accessories are starting to arrive, the painting is almost done, and we're starting to work on a logo and graphics. We hope for a grand opening near May 1, but starting this Thursday we'll be hosting knit nights! It'll be a jobsite, but we'll be there knitting.
See you there!
Ps: In my wisdom, I forgot to include the address! You can find The Loop at 1978 Kensington Road NW, in Calgary. Our phone number is 403-457-3020 (and should be hooked up tomorrow afternoon)
To answer a few questions...
If you are hoping to see anything beyond an empty green room, you'll probably be better off waiting a little while! There are no retail products (or even shelving) on site at present. If you'd like to knit in the midst of chaos and dirt, well come on down! You'll be welcome after 5pm. We currently have about 10 chairs.

Ooooo! Your own knitting shop!? Super! Congrats!
I can hardly wait!! Provided no more new grandbabies arrive LOL!!
Wooooooooooooo! Wish I was there to see it! Congratulations! Have fun! Remember to sleep at least an hour aa night from now until you open! :) Have fun at knit night, and keep us posted. Us northerners are dyeing to hear more!
Doh, just realized I wrote "dyeing" rather than "dying" to hear more... Well, perhaps that was freudian... I should be dyeing, too!
Where is the shop located?
Where is that blasted transporter?
dude.. wait what?
That's awesome Annie!!! Can't wait to see it!!!(Sandi aka Evilknittingtwin)
Yeah! So excited to see this! I drove by the other night, saw the green walls and smiled. I can't wait! Some friends were wondering if you were going to have a small area for kids like Make 1 does to help keep them distracted. Thoughts? I'll see if I can make a Thursday night :)
Thanks. This is wonderful I just can't wait to see it, and you of course:)
Is the knitting on Thursday night open to anyone? I'd love to come and check it out!
Hey Mizzbananie - you need to change your profile to read "LYS OWNER" now! So excited and pleased!!
It is official!!! Yay! I'm so proud of you and wish I could be there with you on your opening night.
Annie, I am so proud/chuffed/tickled/excited for you!
I'm sitting here grinning through the tears, I know how hard you've worked for this and how much it means to you.
Go you good thing!!
Mxo
Heard about you through a friend (Mandie Chandler). I'll help spread the word, if I can. Best of luck!
Wow!!! Contrats Annie! This must be a dream come true. I am so excited for you. I would love to try to be there for your grand opening!!
