Fourteen years ago, I started Chix with Stix in a very tiny space on Main Street here in Lenoir. I then moved to another small space on West Avenue, moved back on Main Street to a larger space, and 3 years ago, I moved the shop to its current location on Morganton Boulevard, SW. This was quite a transition to the much larger space but a great move for the shop. I have met so many talented people who love our fiber craft of knitting, crocheting, and weaving. I have enjoyed your stories, seeing family photos and helping you celebrate weddings, grandbabies, new projects, etc... I have loved being a part of your world and having you in mine.
After all of these years, I have decided it's now time to retire completely and move on to life's next adventure! Do not worry, Chix is not going anywhere! I am thrilled to announce that the shop will have a new owner, Linda Pilkenton, effective December 1. Linda has been a "Chix" for a good while and is deeply invested in our knitting community. She is a very talented knitter, who also does needle felting and lots of other crafts. Linda plans to make Chix even bigger and better than ever; so look for good things to come in the future.
I am deeply grateful to all of you for your support, kindness, creativity and inspiration to me and to anyone who walks in the door at Chix. You are what makes Chix a great place to be. I look forward to joining you as a fellow customer around the table at Chix!!
