Best Find: Lisbet's Knitting Cafe
The Philadelphia Inquirer - November 26 2006
What it offers: Lisbet Christiansen has a reason for calling her Doylestown Borough establishment a cafe: "I wanted a place where women can bond, and I wanted to create a more homey feeling than a yarn shop."To that end, coffee and tea always are brewing, and on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, customers are invited to sit and knit around the octagonal table in the front room. The gatherings are scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m.
The shop is in three rooms of a 19th-century Victorian. Skeins and balls of brightly colored yarn are stacked on shelves and in cubbies from floor to ceiling. In addition to traditional wool, the shop carries novelty yarns - some are textured and metallic, others made from soy silk and corn fiber. [more]
