I decided to scratch off a bucket list item, knitting a sweater from an intermediate level pattern. Checked out a few places before wandering in to Carol Fuller's shop. Carol helped me find a pattern, choose an alternate yarn to the one suggested and here I am a few weeks later. She has tutored me in reading and adapting the sizing to fit with my body type, learning all the intricacies of cabling, increasing/decreasing and explaining so clearly how to proceed whenever I get stuck. This has turned into a wonderful past time and my sweater project is moving along quickly. Already thinking about my next project. She has classes in crochet, also, and probably lots and if other such projects!

This store just opened in La Mesa after being in Lemon Grove for years. I think it is more spacious and cheery, well-lit, more room for classes and instruction. Carol is very helpful in answering questions. The selection is good and the prices are fair. There is always something on sale or clearance for the budget minded and if she doesn't have what you need or not enough of it she will order it in for you. This is a real asset for knitters in the area. Welcome to La Mesa!

Overall great experience through this business. To be…read morehonest, it started off not so great. I requested a quote and was told to text Don to communicate. From there, I was given a time and address but once I arrived at the house, he didn't answer and no one was there to take my dress. After a few calls and texts, I was able to get ahold of Don but not until after I left. Fortunately, he reassured me this would get taken care of and sent me the next day to his seamstress/coworker Anna. I showed up to her place the next day and everything went smoothly after that. This review is mostly for Anna but she is AMAZING! I arrived at her place and she had a small studio in the back to let me try on my dress while she made the mock adjustments for my alterations. Communication with her was clear, reliable, and she was so sweet and accommodating because I needed my dress the next day. She was timely, professional, and really friendly. I'd send everyone to her if I could!

Extremely unprofessional experience. I had texted Don to schedule an appointment for a dress…read morealteration and was told the only time slot available was 6pm that night. I arrived to the address at 5:50 (10mins prior to my appt) and noticed the store looked closed so I texted the number, as instructed, that I had arrived. No text response for a few minutes and I got a weird feeling. Called the number only for Don to say, "let me call my alteration lady and see where she is." Then he texted me a different address to go to for the alterations, across town 10+ minutes away. He sent me this only 4 minutes before our scheduled appointment, even though we were texting earlier that day at 10am. It was dinner time, I already was inconvenienced by having to come at 6pm... Then to have him no-show and give me another address far away at the time of the appointment was extremely rude and inconsiderate. Unprofessional and should not be in business for alterations. If another woman is doing the alterations and not Don, there should be a direct line to schedule and coordinate appointments with her firsthand.
