The complimentary cookies and tea or coffee are nice, too! Upon entering the shop, you’re mood will be lifted by the burst of colors, array of textures, and welcoming atmosphere. Proprietor Pudge Lizza and resident instructor, Eileen Fontana, always delight in making your Knit-Wits experience a pleasant one.
