Happy New Year!

   With a new year comes many changes and  we have a big change at BeauKnits.  I am retiring...   

     It is my 2nd time! Nine years ago, I began planning for my retirement as a School Administrator.  With my close friend Pat Sweeney and Greenwich yarn shoppe owner Barbara Simonian, we created BeauKnits Yarn Shoppe.  The shoppe opened June 4, 2004 and Pat ran the shoppe during my last year of work.    

     It has been a great 8 years.  We have all made new friends, taught each other many new skills, had some awesome classes and got to purchase beautiful yarns, needles and patterns. 

   Whenever the shoppe has been open, knitters and crochetters have come in and just relaxed and enjoyed the company.  Our Wednesday afternoon Knitters - sometimes about 15 are awesome and on Friday night...it is the best.

      We have done much together always welcoming new customers. Our memories include the many overnight trips to Rhinebeck and Hartford, Christmas get-togethers at Bonnie's and lets not forget the summer weekends at Wiawaka on Lake George! 

   We have had a great time with Yarn Crawls, Knit in Public days and the Knit-Ins at the Art Center in Troy.  Oh, and what about our recent Yarn Bombing of Remsen St. !!!! 

     One of the most special things about BeauKnitters has been their generosity.  So many times you brought in unused yarn and needles.  We were able to distribute them to oh so many groups including the Damien Center, the Cohoes Senior Center, the Little Sisters of the Poor and the Sisters of St. Joseph.

   We always had a Community Outreach that we were working on.

Bags of mittens and hats went to the Cohoes City School children.  Baby blankets and preemie hats went to Albany Med and Ronald McDonald House.  We sent lap robes to the VA, special gifts to Guardian House in Ballston Spa, Dress for Success in Albany, etc. etc. etc.  And lets not forget the school supplies you gave each year at the opening of school.

   We were able to gift the Cohoes Community Center over $1250. in 8 years  with the sale of your "old patterns and books'.  Has it been awesome ....you bet. 

    And now it is time for me to join my husband in our retirement together..  We tried selling the business but after 10 months, there has been no serious interest.  So what will happen next....

 
Thank you...thank you.
 It has been a wonderful 8 years.
Thanks for the many warm wishes this past week.
Our Wednesday Knitters will continue at the Cohoes Public Library at 169 Mohawk St. (It was St. John's Episcopal Church) We will get together every
Wednesday from Noon – 3 pm. Come join us.
I will continue to teach anyone who needs help at this time. There is news about a knitting group forming as the Waterford Public Library on Thurs. nites. and oh the Friday Nighter's are searching for a spot.
 Will update you as soon as these groups are confirmed
.
 

We specialize in fine yarns, needles, notions and more…to meet your knitting and crocheting needs.
