The
Frugal Knitting Haus was founded in July of 1989. It began around
the innovative patterns of our founder, designing quick and simple
patterns using up leftover scraps of yarn. Since her start, hundreds
of knitting patterns have been designed and are available through
the eight different books that are published by the Frugal Knitting
Haus. The patterns are all different, but the design concept through
the years hasn't changed. The name "frugal" is
right on target, given our patterns that use the leftover scraps
of yarn, bits and pieces of a skein or less that would otherwise
not find a purpose. Whether it is a holiday decoration, a baby blanket
or adult afghan, sweaters, bazaar items, toys, hats, slippers, gifts,
or just plain useful items for use around the house, you will find
it all here. We've put a large number of patterns on our site, to
get you started with the "frugal" knitting concept that
will surely clean those odds and ends of yarn out of the bottom
of your knitting basket.
For
an early description of our business, you can see the text of an
article written about us in "The
Record", Stockton CA, in 1995. It provides a fuller history
of how the "Haus" got started.
Over
the years, as more patterns were designed and books were published,
our customers started asking where other patterns and knitting accessories
could be found. In response, we started carrying a wide variety
of pattern books booklets for our knitting and crochet friends.
That inventory has grown to hundreds of pattern books and a complete
selection of knitting needles, crochet hooks, and needlework accessories.
Starting
out as a mail order firm, our merchandising expanded to the internet
in 1995. From our humble beginnings, we have evolved to the site
you are visiting today. Our business continues to grow, as more
knitters and crocheters find us on the Web. We have a reputation
for our friendly customer service, low prices, very large selection,
and fast fulfillment of our orders.
With
your help in supporting us, we'll be around for many more years
to come, providing you with a great source for your knitting and
crochet patterns and supplies.
