There's also a nice section of tables and chairs by the window to just sit and do some knitting + socializing with other people working on their WIPs. I called the store in advance to help set aside some yarn (so I could just pay right at the counter) and they were super accommodating since I was looking to get a ton of yarn, too. Overall, the yarns at the store are of great quality and price, and the selection covers nearly all types of yarn for all sorts of projects. I will definitely make this my local yarn stores for my future projects, and they carry one of my favorite yarn brands like Knitting for Olive! Heads up: one of the staff said that they rotate yarn fibers seasonally so you're going to see more selections of wool/heavier yarns in the fall and winter, and lighter yarns like cotton in the spring and summer.

What an awesome local spot! Pick Up Every Stitch became my second home during COVID-19, when I…read moredecided to pick up knitting again. I learned from my mom when I was about 8 years old but got back into it during the pandemic, eventually making a dozen hats, scarves, and even a cute cardigan! Pick Up Every Stitch is perfect for knitters and crocheters of all levels, ages, and abilities. They have all the supplies you could ever dream of, and I love how there are always people in the store working on their projects. The store has created an incredible community of crafty people who share a love for knitting and crocheting, and I have met wonderful people there! They've got plenty of parking in the back and local street parking in the nearby area. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area and looking for a new craft!

If you don't share his brand of politics and beliefs, he's rude, condescending, and judgmental. The same people who cry about being judged are now the judges.

A lovely shop by creatives for creatives…read more Loved this store! It made me want to buy everything because it was all displayed so beautifully. Walking into the store immediately it's clear that the owners are artists themselves with a discerning eye for colors, textures, and design compositions. They sell a variety of art supplies and stationary and also hold art classes. The product displays included not only the products themselves but also samples of art that could be created with them. Mini pages of dabbled watercolors lent an air of inspiration with their translucent ombré tones. Dried flowers and twigs, bright warm-shades of fall leaves brought nature into the store and made prime still life subject matter. You could tell the owners put a lot of creative energy and passion into this space. Though I didn't have much direct interaction with the staff, I overheard them helping other customers and providing recommendations. Definitely recommend stopping by in Cold Spring.

Dear SFCL, Thank you…read morefor existing, walking into this cute little shop was so inspirational and instantly gave me the sense that Michaels does (but way more). Basically when I walked in, I knew I was in the right place, the right spot at the right time. It just feels right. From the decor, to the carefully sorted arts and crafts supplies to the beautiful window art to all the artsy things. I want to own the whole store and every single pencil, eraser, paper - well you get it - that's in here. It's a place for inspiration, nostalgia, dopamine and pure JOY walking into here. The smell of art and creativity just gets you on a creative high and inspired. Consider me a big fan and fellow creative always looking to feel inspired and creating. Um, can I like move here?

So I just had a very interesting experience at Echo. I'm here visiting from the city for my mini…read morevacation and kept hearing rave reviews about this place. The family I'm staying with also suggested I check it out. It's my last day here and I wanted to check it out before I left because I heard they have really cool old school toys (which I collect), cool clothes, and bras in my size! I waited until they were open but no one was there so I decided to walk around and come back a little later. Upon entering I was not greeted. Not a big deal though because I can be pretty shy and wanted to browse around. I soon felt uncomfortable; like I wasn't welcome but I brushed it off. It's a feeling POC unfortunately often feel when they're shopping in unfamiliar areas or shops. I wanted to give the woman at the register the benefit of the doubt. I found a cool harmonica that I wanted to gift my boyfriend but was being indecisive about what else to get I remembered the bras! I went to check them out and then I stumbled upon the sale section and that's when the woman at the register basically ran up on me. She said to let her know if I needed help with anything. It was completely bizarre because it was clear she came over just to see what I was doing. There were a few other people in there and she passed by them and didn't ask them if they needed anything. It was so clear in my mind that she thought I was trying to steal that dumb ass harmonica or anything from that janky store. The bras were overpriced, the clothes were honestly hideous and not for anyone under the age of 40. The toys and books were ok but nothing really jumped out at me. Except this woman. It was a very uncomfortable experience and when I went to pay for the items (yes I got the damn harmonicas) she gave me full on attitude. No smile, very condescending "you're welcome" after I thanked her. Just all around bad attitude as if she was the one being followed. I would beware if you are a POC. I didn't get the woman's name but she was probably a SWF, pudgy and had dark hair.
