If you crafty, a student or teacher, or you want to find inspiration for an art projects, this place is for you!

My first visit to Knit On! was a success! They have such a huge selection here, a whole room of…read moreyour natural fibers (like wool or cotton) and another room of acrylic and baby yarns. I was amazed at the selection given I am a beginner and have only shopped at Michael's Crafts for yarn. It's clear the yarns are high quality but they have some at every price point which is great. This place is so much better than the big box store where I've had a hard time finding a selection of wool yarn and things like safety eyes. Knit On! had everything I'd ever need for a project and a lot for inspiration too. There were some baby lovey kits and kits for scarves and other fun creations. There are cute pins and jewelry too! I liked how it was all well organized. The proprietor Nancy helped me and was very kind. She showed me where everything is and let me browse as I pleased. She also wound my yarn into a cake/ball for me and let me know they offer knitting lessons if I'd ever like to try! I enjoyed the visit and will definitely return for any special or nice project I want to make.

Stumbling upon this store was one of those happy accidents that left a dent in my wallet and a big…read moresmile on my face. The yarn selection is phenomenal - every color and texture you can possibly imagine. I lost track of time wandering up and down the aisles, petting nearly every skein. I think I managed to buy some of the softest things ever invented. Some of the yarns were so cool and weird that I actually did a little excited dance! I love that the woman running the shop didn't even laugh at me when I ran up to the register, smiling and giddy, and said "WHAT CAN I MAKE WITH THIS!??!" Instead, she gave me a pattern and made sure I knew how to do all of the stitches, since I told her I was a new knitter. The cat, Tanner, is the fattest cat I have ever seen, but she is absolutely adorable. She sprawls out in the aisles, and if you rub her belly, she'll lay on her back with her legs stretched out and look like a big ole pillow. It's also a nice bonus that they'll wind your yarn for you if you buy any hanks. In my case, this ended up being a double-edged sword though, because I wandered around and found more things that I simply had to buy. Nice trick! I love shopping in small yarn stores like this because they also give you so many project ideas! Looking up on top of a shelf and seeing a beautiful shawl constructed with the yarn you're holding in your hand is awesome and gives you a much better idea of how the yarn actually looks in a project. I can't wait to come back to this place! If only they could pick it up and move it to Columbus!!

It was a great way to kick off the holiday season. I love that there was an outdoor craft show at…read moreWashington Park at the same time, so I got a "two-fer." I shopped there for the traditional arts and crafts gifts, then went into the side door of Music Hall (yes, at you're looking at it, the fair can only be accessed through the left-hand side door of music hall) for unique artist-made crafts. I didn't buy much -- just a silk-screened t-shirt and some tasty Jalapeno jelly -- it was the perusing itself, and talking directly to the artists that was the joy of the season. And I had some great, animated conversations with the artists themselves, who were helpful and excited to talk about their work. Yes, these are hand-made specialty items, so the price was high. But it is going directly to the artists, so it is worth it.

The booths were very high-end, offering great design and well-made products. Eli's BBQ was there, along with a bar, coffee stand, and gelto. It wasn't very crowded when we went, so take that for what it is. YMMV. Be prepared to spend some serious cash, also. I didn't buy many things, but the bill was high. I like supporting artists and designers, so I don't mind, but it certainly isn't a budget shopping experience.

I came to visit my son in Cincinnati and decided to do a mini yarn crawl. I was blown away by this…read moreshop! I meet 2 of the three co-owners, Francine and Lucinda. They made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I felt like we were old friends! They spent time showing me around, explaining their different events throughout the year and invited me back for open Knitting Thursday night. The store had some of the best displays, samples and pattern ideas I have ever seen in a shop. They had many sweaters knit up and labeled which were put in a 20 Sweater Idea workbook. The book contained pictures and all the information for those same sweaters. To help you make one of those sweaters, you can sign up for the workshop for a fee of $50. You can get all the help you need to finish. They have different times during the week scheduled that you can come in and get all the help you need to get the project done for that particular sweater you're making. That continues until you have finished the sweater. Their philosophy is they want to help everyone finish without having to worry about making it to all of the classes for a project, such a good idea - strictly scheduled classes are sometimes hard because you might not be able to make it to all the classes and then you're stuck. They were getting ready for Christmas and they had the best idea! They have at least 27 small Christmas items to either knit or crochet, made as samples for the store with a little picture and number next to each one. Then they have a book with each project listed by number with the pattern and a list of supplies that are needed. What a very creative idea! I wish I lived closer. I would be there every week. The vibe is so, energetic and enthusiastic.Laughter abounds and you can tell the staff all get along so well and enjoy what they're doing!!

Handzy has a bunch of cutesy accessories, stickers, clothes and coffee mugs (I love the fried egg mug but can't justify $50 for a coffee mug). They currently have a bunch of soft overalls in stock which all the rage, and I love the different colors of hair clips and chunky earrings as well. This is great place to stop if you need a gift or a greeting card for someone, although prices are a little steep.

The shop owner, Brittney, jumped in and started chatting with my little one and even read her a book so I could grab what I needed. Above and beyond!!
