fLoCk

I have always wanted to learn how to knit since I was a little girl. My mom and aunts all know how to knit or crochet, so I really wanted to be able to as well. And to be honest I needed to pick up another hobby to keep myself busy.

I haven't ever really had the time to sit down and have someone teach me until I came back to Nantucket. My friend Heather offered to teach me, and I have to say I picked it up pretty quickly.

The other day Heather and I went to fLoCk, a yarn and craft store on island, right near Stop and Shop. When I walked in I was in awe of the colors, the set up, and how passionate Sheila, the owner of the store, was about this particular craft.

Sheila was extremely helpful when it came to picking my first starting yarn, and how I should go about knitting my first project; a scarf. She is also the owner of 'Something Natural', which I will post about later on in 'food and drink'.

fLoCk offers classes that focus on certain knitting techniques and projects. Make sure to stop in if you are ever in the center of the island. It's even nice to just sit in there with your cup of coffee and just chat about crafty things.

I have to say I really enjoy knitting so far. I have a few projects in mind, but for now my first project will be an infinity scarf.
