An interview with Antje Gillingham

The Knitting Nest is a cozy shop in the heart of Historic Downtown Maryville, Tennessee featuring loads of luscious yarns and an inviting atmosphere that encourages customers to sit, knit, and chat. Antje Gillingham, Proprietor and author of Knitting circles around Socks  and Knitting More circles around Socks, was born and raised in Germany where she learned to knit as a young girl. Antje mixes her old world charm with southern hospitality and gushes with enthusiasm for the home craft of knitting.

Come in and nest for awhile! In our new location we have plenty of space where you can escape your daily routine and trade stress for a chat and a row or two of knitting. You'll find cozy corners, a knitting balcony, and a comfortable sitting area where you can discover or share ideas and inspiration with people who enjoy the same addiction passion as you. Come and join us at The Knitting Nest where we surround ourselves with a never ending supply of magnificent yarn and the pain pleasure of knitting our little fingers to the bone.

Antje and Bjorn
Textile and fiber artist, Bjorn of HandPainted Knitting Yarns stopped by recently to share his tips on working with hand painted yarns. Antje and Bjorn both are German born so they had lots of stories to swap while knitting and designing together.  

Delicious new yarns of all colors and textures are arriving daily! Come in and experience the scrumptious collection of yarns!... It's always cozy inside.
