NY knitblogger Sahara has finally posted her (two part!) review of our shop, and she loved it. It’s really interesting for me to read the perspective of someone with fresh eyes, someone who knows the craft industry but doesn’t have any preconceived notions about TC. For as much as we worry about the unfinished parts of the fitout and our lack of professional merchandising skill, she really seemed to like the “clean, uncluttered” space and actually praised some of our displays. She also gives us credit for things we just take for granted, like the fact that we keep the Aboriginal tapestries with all the other Australian designs. (Are there really shops that don’t?) I also appreciated her suggestions for freshening up the samples and improving the lighting in the knitting shop. (These are things I’ve been telling Albert all along, but it helps to have an unbiased opinion.) She also gives major props to the website… which is my baby. So I’m happy. Thanks, Sahara!
