Just Knitting is now both on-line via these web pages and by appointment at the studio in Lanark Highlands. Check out Google Maps to see where Just Knitting is located. As of 2026 the studio is in transition to a mostly retail space. This evolution is on-going as I find and unpack more totes and set up display cabinets.

Kelly had been involved in crafting one thing or another since she was a young girl. Her first introduction to spinning came at the age of 12, and her first attempt at knitting was during a high school home economics class. Several years later, while expecting her first child, Kelly picked up the needles once more and hasn’t put them down since.
After several years of operating a general store ( which sold yarn and knitting supplies ), the leap to make Just Knitting a stand alone yarn store was the fulfillment of Kelly’s wish to provide a space that offers customers a comfortable and cozy atmosphere to shop for wonderful yarns, notions, patterns, spinning supplies, books and accessories.
Running a retail store front is all encompassing. As some say, it was time to spend more time with family, so the store front closed at the end of 2012 in order to slow down a bit. After being on-line only, the studio space is now coming around as a home based yarn shop. The commute is great : )
Wish to thank everyone who has supported Just Knitting in Carleton Place (and The Ashton Store before that). It gave us the opportunity to meet many new people and make new friends. The store continues to serve you through this web site and by appt. here at the studio. Please check back to see the site grow to reflect the new look of Just Knitting.
Kelly’s passion for natural fibres, from laceweight and up, will continue to be the store’s primary focus, as well as some completed items as displayed here in the studio.
Best of luck with your projects …. Robin
