047: Espace Tricot on Building a Yarn Shop Fueled by Friendship Feb 28, 2017

Show notes

These days, there are so many sad notices and posts about yarn shops closing and one might think that the future of knitting and brick n' mortar stores is bleak. But today on the show, I chat with two passionate knitters and shop owners who are doing it right and have seen year-over-year success with their yarn shop, Espace Tricot.

In July 2017, Melissa Clulow and Lisa di Fruscia will celebrate the 7-year anniversary of their yarn shop, Espace Tricot. Located in Montreal, Canada, this store has become an incredible gathering place for the knitting community as much as it is a retail space. And at the heart of Espace Tricot is this friendship that Melissa and Lisa share and the community that they have created.

It is fascinating and telling that one of the greatest challenges for all of us creative people, whether we have kids or no kids, is the challenge of having enough time. Sometimes, it feels like the greatest opponent to creativity is having enough time. Today's episode is a little wind up for 2016 and it will just be me today, talking about time.

Ysolda Teague might very possibly be one of the most well-known, well-established knitwear designers of our time. Like perhaps many of you, I was first introduced to Ysolda's work through her shawl pattern, Ishbel. To date, it is one of the most widely knit shawl patterns on Ravelry. It's been knit nearly 14,000 times since she published it in 2009. Since that time, she has re-written the rules of knitwear design and self-published a number of collections, built a design studio and team, and also created her own custom yarns. Join Felicia and Ysolda on The SweetGeorgia Show to listen to Ysolda's stories of how she got started and how she established such a successful design career.
