The merchants of historic Olde Town Arvada range from a butcher, a baker, and candlestick maker to fun shops where you can feed your creativity need, like Knit Knack.

Gerri Bragdon, the owner of Knit Knack, was so helpful that she did her own write-up. I like the fact that it's in her own 'voice', so here it is as she wrote it:

"Knit Knack is located in the heart of Olde Town Arvada, an Historic Shopping District dating back to the 1870's.

In Knit Knack's two year history, we've created a strong and loyal customer base, and as a result, a knitting and crochet community right here in our shop.

We encourage people to sit and knit, meet other knitters and enjoy a latte from our coffee bar, which adds an element of comfort.

The antiques and unique displays beckon another visit to a comfortable and friendly shop. Take a class, meet other fiber friends and relax - you deserve it."

I'll be spending some time at Knit Knack myself, as my daughter and I are signed up for beginning knitting starting at the end of the month. (I'm going to be a grandma in January, so figured it's a good time to learn to knit!)

One of the things I like about Knit Knack is all the finished projects displayed everywhere.  They get me thinking about what I'd like to be able to do.

I'm looking forward to knitting in front of a warm fire while the snow falls this winter.

The center of historic Olde Town Arvada is roughly bordered by Ralston Rd., Teller Rd., Grandview Ave., and Yukon St.

Arvada is a historic town about midway between Denver and Boulder in Jefferson County, Colorado. There are many different neighborhood and shopping area styles. Novo Coffee is near the intersection of Wadsworth and 80th Ave., the main north-south and east-west routes through Arvada, near neighborhoods built mostly in the 1970s with wide streets and sidewalks, mature tree canopies, and nice-sized yards.

I write posts focused on local businesses as a public service, and am not endorsing any business, nor do I have any sort of 'relationship' with them, other than as a raving consumer. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of the community of Arvada, in case they're new here or considering a move here.
