So, When Are You Going To Open?

We finally have an answer to this very popular question! The Knitting Nest will be open for business starting on August 23rd. Our hours of operation will be Tuesday – Friday, 10am-6pm and Saturday, 10am-3pm. We will be closed on Sunday and Monday.

We still have a to-do list about a mile and a half long!! It's good to have a deadline, though. We have our primary yarn orders already placed. We will be getting our fixtures (and some yarn, needles, and notions) in the next week or so. We are finalizing things with our website and art designer.

Patrick and I went to Sam's Club today and converted our membership to a business membership (that was pretty exciting!). We also purchased a cash register that we need to learn to use along with a printer, ink, and other less exciting items like toilet paper and trash cans.

For credit card transactions, we are going to be using Square Up. We've already received the little “square” that we swipe the cards through. At Sam's Club today, we bought an ipod for the “square” to hook into. Square Up is a credit card processing company that uses the “square” plugged into an ipod, ipad, or smart phone, hence the ipod purchase. So, another electronic device to learn to use.

It's going to be a very busy 39 days around here!!
