We all knew this was a possibility…

You all knew Knit 1 was for sale and after months of wondering here’s where we are: We received bad news concerning a family member’s health recently and instead of keeping the store open in hopes of selling we’ve decided to close up shop. Life is definitely too short! And because of our sense of urgency to spend time with our family we will start closing this week… such short notice we know but so much to do.

The hardest thing about closing a thriving business is seeing the thriving community that was Knit 1 come to an end. Knit 1 was my home away from home for the last 4 + years and I know for many of you it was yours too and even though the space of Knit 1 will no longer exist I know the spirit of Knit 1 will and that's the best measure of success I could ask for.


Thank you all for your support!

Knit 1

For those of you wondering...

We're Still Here!!! And we have great gift ideas for this holiday season.

In stock the improved Addi Clicks. Improved in how they packaged them; the bulky box is gone replaced by a nice faux leather traveling case and by adding a #5 tip, although lovers of chunkier yarn weights might not see this as an improvement as they did away with the #10.75 (this tip can be ordered separately).
































Next we have a couple of great knitting bags from Jordana Paige. We love these bags because they don't scream, "I'm carrying around my knitting!" They're just fashionable bags that happen to be made for carrying around your knitting!



























Last but not least we have a new yarn by Cascade. Eco Duo, a 70% alpaca, 30% merino worsted weight blend that has a gorgeous hand. All various shades of natural (undyed) colors that has a slight color gradation and like the rest of the "Eco" line great yardage at a great price!

A machine washable what???

We asked ourselves the same question when we saw it but it's here, a machine washable alpaca!


Just in from SandnesGarn 13 wonderful colors of light worsted weight yarn. Perfect for winter items that get a lot of use. We were able to get a hat out of one 50gr (@120yds) ball and at $6.50 a ball that's as incredible as a machine washable alpaca!

This is a SALE you never expected...

(First, sorry to those of my friends/customers I wasn't able to tell personally about this sale.)

Knit 1's biggest sale ever, in fact we're selling the whole store! That's right, Knit 1 is for sale! If you've ever dreamed of owning your very own yarn store then this is your chance. After 4 years we have to move on, other opportunities await though it's not without sadness that we make this announcement. We're hoping someone or some bodies will be able to keep Knit 1 alive for those of you who have cherished it as a space you've considered your own.

What do we have to do....

to get you interested in our crochet classes??? We keep hearing crochet is the next big thing and yet... where are the droves of knitters looking to add more skills to their knitting bag of tricks? Or the craftless crew? Where are you? Maybe if we slashed the price of the classes in half 5 classes for 50 bucks...would that pique your interest? These days that's less an hour than a cup of coffee!




Here's the deal: sign up any time in the next ...say from Memorial Day through the 4th of July and get a block of 5 crochet classes for $50. You don't have to use the classes within that time, only purchase them. Why stop there? Buy a block of 5 Open Project Knitting Classes and get 2 free. Interested in learning to knit? Take $20 off the price of the beginners class. If you're looking for something to do this summer look to Knit 1.
