The first annual I-91 Shop Hop was really fun!

We enjoyed seeing many new faces and helping these knitters find their way around our shop. Hearing some of the stories about how hoppers were traveling made us smile! Thank goodness for the husbands that were willing to drive so that the serious work of knitting could be done. A few of the hoppers visited every store in one day, but the majority of knitters took two days to really spend a little time in each shop.The big reward for doing that was being able to eat lunch in downtown Northampton

We celebrated with a special edition of Barbie and Ken in their convertible.If you noticed, Ken was knitting and Barbie was doing all the driving. We were just trying to provide a little equal time to all the types of knitters.

If you didn’t participate this year, you  will be glad to know that the 11 shops have decided to do it all again in 2012. It will be held on the last week end in June ( the 29th and 30th and July 1st). Mark your calendars, save up your stash money and plan your attack because the next I-91 Shop Hop is going to be even better with a few surprises included!
