Local Trivia: Knit or not?

Bayberry Knitting in downtown Plainville seems to be having trouble staying on message. Above the sign indicating the knitting store is a giant banner that says in large, red bannerlike letters on a white background, "Now Open."

In the window is a smaller sign saying in small, white, smaller-signlike letters on a red background, "Sorry, We're Closed."

Though the closed sign is smaller, it seems to be more accurate -- or else the Grand Opening went way, way better than planned. The store appears to be completely empty.

Alicia... too funny! You are right. Bayberry Knitting's Grand Opening was a hoot! The place was overflowing with friends, customers and other guests, big shots and small shots...

I will let you in on a secret: the shop unfortunately is not open 24/7. There are periods when the store is closed. The shop hours are posted on its website bayberryknitting.com and checkout the blog while you're at it.

As to the store looking like it's completely empty, don't be tricked, Betty lowers a reflective shade in her storefront windows that blocks out the sun... taking a quick look from the outside, it probably will look empty but it is far from it. So, far the shop is a wild success...
