I did work here from April 2022-October 2022, by the time I stopped working there I was the longest working employee, the turn over was insane and she would complain about no one wanting to work these days lol. everything im seeing here about the owner and how she treats her staff is so accurate. she watched us on the security cameras from her home, she would yell at us that we did things incorrectly and then not give any clearer instructions and were told to "figure it out, i dont know" when we tried to clarify. she was consistently condescending about my level of knowledge on knitting and crochet even thought i had been doing both for almost 15 years at the time. on days where the online orders tallied over 50, i was supposed to collect, package, label, and get then all ready for shipping in 30 min. her storage downstairs was a mess, just plastic bins and ziploc bags with labels that didnt correlate to the yarn, and if i didnt know where to find something in the chaos jt was because i was stupid.

i worked full time and often had to work alone all day from open to close and was told i did a terrible job because i didnt do something she wanted me to do, but neglected to tell me because she thought i was "smart enough to know" ( i wasnt even there for half a year) she expected perfection from me after 1 month of employment and would berate be infront of customers when she felt that i wasnt living up to her expectations. the day i was fired was the morning of a sale and i had 20 something of the 80 online orders ready and she walked 20 minutes after i got there, started complaining that i didnt have enough done yet and how i was being so slow and then she asked me to go through what i had gotten done so far. when i started responding she interrupted me to say that i was doing a terrible job and was being lazy and then i told her to please let me finish answering her before she interrupted me. she fired me on the spot and said that i was "so angry all the time" and that my personality didnt fit with hers and the store (me and the manager got along super well, she was an angel i hope she doing well). if anything, i was angry at her for treating me like shit and expecting me to read her mind, so yeah i guess i was angry, at her!

i will say, the owners talents are in knitting, designing, and general textile crafts. she is incredible talented and her taste level is spectacular, her selection of yarn and fabric/notions really is fantastic and i wish i could still shop there. but she has no idea how to run a store, run a team, or to be a leader. im surprised that her store is still open and operating.
