Liza Crane has requested if anyone can do another round of masks they are looking for donations. They will soon be ramping up the local in-person clinics and will require masks for adults and children. You can mail the masks to Liza Crane at 615 E Minnesota St. Indianapolis, IN 46203, or drop them off at the shop. There are tons of online resources for patterns and her only request was that they are in both children and adult sizes. Thank you in advance for your assistance!   Stay safe...

Hey Everyone, I wanted to give you all an update on some of the things we've been working on behind the scenes at the shop. We are in the home stretch of getting our yarn stock online. This has been a big item on Susan's wish list and its very near completion. Once we finish the yarns we'll move on to notions and some other special items we'd like to do with the online store. Just a few things: I'm in the process of reloading the color cards for the yarns. Now as you select an item from the...

We still have some of our Breathe and Hope Shawl kits! The free pattern is available until Sunday at midnight, so message me for kits and the code. Codes are only available with new yarn purchases.

Call the shop, and I can text or email codes out to you so you will have it by the time you receive or pick up your yarn! I will also add some new options for...

We're all doing our best with social distancing, but our yarn stash has taken a real hit from being cut off from its supply chain. We've been working hard here at Mass Ave Knit Shop to bring you an online shopping cart and we're proud to announce that the cart is now online and ready for your orders. We are currently picking, packing, and shipping on Mondays and Thursdays. You can have your orders shipped directly to you or arrange for a pickup during our truncated business hours on Monday and...

I am so excited to announce that the inventory is finished and I hope to have the online store available on Monday! Many of you know I have attempted this a few times, and now it is going to happen!! Check this out! I do not sew and therefore I can not do my part as far as making masks, but I have seen many articles about the issues our health workers are suffering with, elastic rubbing on their ears. I came across this a week ago and thought I can do this!! I am asking people to make these....

Don’t forget to call the shop Monday to sign up for the Spring Retreat email list!  Starting this Friday I will email a pattern with yarn suggestions and color options!  Hopefully?you will be able to order from the website with a 20% discount code and we will ship your yarns out to you on Mondays and Thursdays.   I will be at the shop from 11-3.

I am so sad that we are not able to get together for the Spring Retreat next weekend!! I am planning to share some of the fun patterns we had to offer at the Retreat ! I am tentatively rescheduling the Spring Retreat for the weekend on June 12-14th. What I am planning is to fill the time between now and then by emailing a different Retreat pattern each Friday with a yarn suggestion and color options. For those who sign up, you will receive 20% off on that yarn until the following Thursday....
