A sad goodbye from John and Joy

Dear Friends

As many of you are now aware, we are closing Knit Together for good. For us, as for you, this is a very sad thing.

I want to stress that YOU (our customers and friends) are not the reason. Rather, the lack of ENOUGH customers, combined with too much space and thus too much overhead, is what finally is forcing us to close. Over the last 15 months or so, we have seen both the number of people coming in and the amount they are spending, drop by a combined 55%, while our rent continues to climb. This is just untenable, and our accountant told us so in no uncertain terms.

We have loved having you in the store, and particularly how so many of you have taken us under your wings. You have been real friends and we are better for having known you.

Joy and I hope that someone (soon!) will want to pick up the torch and start their own version of Knit Together. We will be glad to offer any help we can. You can reach me by email at johnATknittogetherDOTcom or johnATktogDOTcom for the forseeable future.

All our love and best wishes,

John and Joy
