I exported all of these posts into my new website blog page - Weaving In The Loose Ends
Please join me and my endeavors as I continue to strive to open the yarn shop this September!
And, as always, thank you for your support!

I have always wanted to own some sort of shop. Twenty+ years ago, it was an old book shop. Now, I think I am going to open a local yarn shop. This is a blog about my feelings and experiences about the whole process, from start to finish.

I will not be defeated!
On my hunt for a retail location.....it's not looking so good. I checked out one place, and the owner apparently didn't 'like' me or something, because he never returned my phone calls after that. I'm very disappointed in his lack of professionalism.
The next place I looked at is AWESOME......but it is a huge warehouse (10,000 sq ft!) and he wants a couple thousand dollars a month for rent. I was hoping to have a few subleaser's interested, but they aren't faring well right now and wouldn't be able to afford it. I definitely can't do the rent by myself.
I'm looking for a good 1500 sq ft to get started with. There is one place on Tower that is being renovated but they obviously aren't looking for a lease agreement until that's completed.
My only option, I think, is to start looking off of the main strip...but there aren't a whole lot of options there, either, because I want to be in on the local foot traffic. I don't want to be too far away from the heart of the city. I want to become a downtown staple!
Still plugging away at my Business Plan....will probably be looking for a CPA soon.....

Logo's are here!
I reviewed and accepted my new logo's yesterday! woohoo! Also, you can find us here:
This one is going to be our "Limited Edition" logo. I am going to print that only on a few things like maybe 10 canvas bags, etc, and then offer them up in raffles and things.
This one is our 'EVERY DAY' logo. I can't wait to get coffee mugs, stickers, canvas bags, etc printed up!
Now, if only I could find the retail space I need!!
