About Knit Happens

Welcome to Knit Happens! Thanks so much for stopping by, we love visitors!

Knit Happens is owned by Kristine Kirby (hi!). I learned to knit from my grandmother when I was young, then rediscovered the power of knitting in my 20s, when it suddenly became as necessary to me as chocolate and air. I now readily admit to being a fiber-holic. If you don’t believe me, then visit the store or browse the site…there is yarn after yarn after yarn. Ah, the power of yarn!

I opened the retail store in Alexandria, Virginia in March of 2004, and since then it has surpassed my wildest expectations. We have regular customers, customers who make us a ‘must-visit’ stop on their visit to Washington DC, mail-order customers who we know by name – even customers from as far a field as China and Australia. Anyone who thinks knitting isn’t booming and global should spend some time here! I love the sense of community the shop has - both locally and globally!

So whether you come to the store, visit our blog, or do both, I welcome you – and thank you! And if you have any ideas, suggestions, or just want to say hi, drop me a line at kristine@knithappens.net.

Happy Knitting, Kristine
