http://www.knitnowmag.co.ukwww.knitnowmag.co.uk 6161At Knit Now, we're passionate about supporting
the incredible diversity of local yarn shops up
and down the country, all year round. Not
just because we love to touch and feel some
yarn from time to time (and take it home and
knit it!), but also because of the unique and
valuable communities which grow up around
our shops. Just like our local pubs, butchers and post o fi ces though,
it's a ‘use it or lose it’ deal – if we stop calling in to our local knitting
shops to pick up a new set of needles or book on to a class, we will
lose them, and the community that goes along with them.
The good news is that, as knitters, there's something very simple
that we can do to keep these vital community hubs open. Just keep
visiting your local shop! As an extra incentive, when you buy Knit
Now, you'll be able to get special discounts at participating stores
up and down the country. This month, why not take the time to fi nd
your local shop and pay them a visit?
At Knit Now, we're working with AIYSO (the Association
of Independent Yarn Shop Owners) to promote local
shops in every single issue, as well as online at
