The Knit and Stitch
Shoppe Founded In 1971..By a Sweet Lady Edith Mutsaerts....She had a passion forKnitting and so For Her Birthday she
got 5000.00 to start up a wool store.. From Her Husband Paul Mutsaerts..So off she went and opened a store in the Westlynn
Mall Knitting and Stitching and Helping people out of their knitting mistakes....
Two Years Later she opened
in Park Royal....
One year later she opened in Lansdowne Richmond
Two years later she had Arbutus
..so now Everybody was really busy.....Then after in 1987 she sold Westlynn mall..which changed name to Lynn Vally Centre....
So that left Arbutus and Richmond and Park Royal....
So After 2 yrs She sold Richmond ...Then There was just
Park Royal and Arbutus....Which her Daughter Ingrid Managed...She helped Managed all the stores since 1981....
Then They
Had the 2 Stores ...Managable.....Now Ingrid Could Ski again....which made her really happy.
Then a Lady wanted to Buy
but Ingrid's Store.....So they sold it...
Then Ingrid Got a job on a Diving Boat..as the chief of everything....40 nights
@ sea...that's enough.....Then Worked in Whistler for a ski Season as a German Ski Guide...AnyHow the fun had to end....And
Paul.. Edith's Husband Ingrid's Dad died..Bummer eh!!! So Having Just the one Store they moved to Dundarave West
Vancouver.....So for 4 yrs Life was good.....Then 1998 Edith Died.....So Ingrid Had the whole place to herself.... So no More days Off For Ingy......So Skiing @ night was the only way she could get skiing in......But
