New yarn shop in town


My friend Sarah and her mom just opened a new yarn shop. They bought the Village Yarn Shop and moved it from Midtown to East Rochester and it is now The Village Yarn and Fiber Shop. They added wool roving and spinning supplies, hence the addition of "Fiber".

Several years ago my friends and I started a group called Sit & Knit. We sat at a local Starbucks, chatted and knit things. We all had varying degrees of skill and I benefited from other's knowledge... moving from making scarves to mittens and hats. Around that time knitting had become incredibly hip.


Now Sarah is living the dream and will be surrounded by yarn and needles and knitters everyday. I am so happy for her. The shop is cozy and inviting. There is a couch where you could sit and knit to your hearts content. I am sure you will find me there often, petting the yarn and plotting out my next pair of mittens.

I'm Jenny, and I came to Rochester to get my Master's at RIT and *SURPRISE!* ... 10 years later I'm still here with:
  • a house in the city
  • a cat
  • a dog
  • a rabbit
  • a husband
  • a snowboard
  • a job as a web designer at Kodak In this blog I will write about life in Rochester including:
  • food
  • shopping
  • events
  • sights
  • weird weather
  • occasionally things like cupcakes and pugs
    I have been blogging on my own site, www.ljcfyi.com, for six years and just started contributing to Kodak's corporate blog, 1000words.kodak.com, this year. Hopefully these posts will be as funny/interesting/weird as my posts on those sites.
