    I decided to scratch off a bucket list item, knitting a sweater from an intermediate level pattern. Checked out a few places before wandering in to Carol Fuller's shop. Carol helped me find a pattern, choose an alternate yarn to the one suggested and here I am a few weeks later. She has tutored me in reading and adapting the sizing to fit with my body type, learning all the intricacies of cabling, increasing/decreasing and explaining so clearly how to proceed whenever I get stuck. This has turned into a wonderful past time and my sweater project is moving along quickly. Already thinking about my next project. She has classes in crochet, also, and probably lots and if other such projects!

    This store just opened in La Mesa after being in Lemon Grove for years. I think it is more spacious and cheery, well-lit, more room for classes and instruction. Carol is very helpful in answering questions. The selection is good and the prices are fair. There is always something on sale or clearance for the budget minded and if she doesn't have what you need or not enough of it she will order it in for you. This is a real asset for knitters in the area. Welcome to La Mesa!

They can accommodate 8 people at a time. Could have used a little more instruction (but I did watch you tube videos before hand which was helpful) if you want to go it all on your own. The friendly staff will help you make it look like what you want if you don't mind assistance. The studio dog Buttercup is super sweet and friendly. I'm glad we got to support a local community business.

The service is also really good, they are always eager to help you whenever you are having trouble. For someone who has never done this before, I really appreciated the help! The colors are also really nice that they let you choose and there is a plenty of selection for the colours. Your items become avabile about 2-3 weeks after we had out event. The parking can be a bit difficult as there is a smalll parking lot in the side but it can get filled really fast. I had no trouble with parking when actually doing the class but when we picked up the items it was a bit crowded.

He is very communicative by phone and text, reasonable with pricing, and excellent with alterations.

Shoot him a text or call, you will be a customer for life.

I will likely try a business shop vs home shop next time. I called multiple times and arranged for a fitting to alter two jackets. First Don said he was available the next day and to call back. I did and arranged to stop by, kept asking for the address, and finally he gave it to me, but called back later and ask I stop by later that day. When I tried again in the afternoon, he gave me an address and said his sister is helping him and will meet with me. Went to the home and the man introduced himself as Don so I was so confused. He said a business partner is sending him leadals, maybe that is Don? The woman (Loan) was very sweet who did my alterations. Anyway, whoever I ended up being sent to was ok but it wasnt Don and cant find her listing to leave a review there. Leaving this here so others are aware they may be sent elsewhere instead of Don. The alterations for 2 jackets were ok. One jacket was perfect but the other was looser and not quite as tailored. Price was cheaper than standard so I was not too upset, you get what you pay for.
