Creative Ewe Yarn Shop — Local services in McSherrystown

Let's all hope that the shop owner is a better doctor than she is a business owner.  She cannot seem to do both, however.e

She sells discontinued yarn here.  No problem there.  This way, she can stock up and get a deal and can probably pass some savings onto the customer.

However, she has no rhyme or reason to the shop.  She has a handful of knitted samples around the shop that you can buy the yarn and get a copy of the pattern there and reproduce on your own at home.  Awesome.

She also has samples in this shop that she neither has the yarn nor the pattern for that her customers cannot reproduce.  This is extremely frustrating for the customer.  When this shop opened a year ago, I posted my suggestion that she list these samples in an Etsy store front instead of in her shop, which sells yarn, not clothing and she deleted my review.   She is extremely intolerant of people who don't do things her way.  Now that a year has gone by,  I am of the understanding that I am not the only person who has complained about this issue.

I don't need my knitting supplies with a side of snide, thank you.  I'd rather buy them from a chain store instead of support her...

There was a variety of pattern books too! Can't wait to go back and look...

I am so lucky to have Creative Ewe practically in my backyard. Catherine has always been so willing to share her knowledge and skills, as well, very patient in her interactions with me. Her shop is so cozy and warm where you can sit, chat, and crochet or knit with others who happen to shop and visit. Such a diversion from...
