Nanette’s Knits and Gifts is the coolest place for a knitter like me. I can make a run up to the shop and grab beautiful yarn and Nanette helps me choose a pattern that is at my level - beginner trying to advance to advanced beginner. When I get home and mess up, it’s back to the shop for a bit of help.
