I'm taking time out for some rest and recreation, and to explore new designs and fabrics. The 10 months since opening this store has been most rewarding and successful, but the giraffes are now out to pasture and the gorgeous children's knitwear and baby quilts are packed away. I apologise for any inconvenience and invite you to visit again when Merrilyn Anne Knits and Gifts reopens in mid-July. Meanwhile you can follow me at www.facebook.com.au/merrilyn.anne.knitsandgifts
