Knit Wit

Few sounds are so instantly soothing as the click-click of knitting needles. Frankly, the only problem I ever found was that many knitting stores have an air of, shall we say not the friendliest atmosphere and leave it at that? Well, found the exception and wouldn't you know it is on the street I raved about some time back?! 41 South Finley Avenue in Basking Ridge is home to Down Cellar. You won't find attitude here but you will find a slew of distinctive yarns, notions and accessories cozily displayed among cupboards and vintage treasures. The perfect rainy day store! Classes and workshops in all fiber arts (what better time than winter for learning a craft like knitting, crocheting, rug hooking and the like?) Friendly approachable staff, great step by step support for novices and longtime knitters alike. Time to finish that sweater you started 12 years ago!
