Solvang, California: two shops; things to do

Knit Fit  

473 Atterdag Rd., (805) 688-0686.  M-Sat 10-6, Sun 10-5:30.  Fee for most classes.  This cheery crafts shop purveys a vast and colorful array of crafts supplies and kits.  You’ll find puffy paint, felt, yarn and plenty more at Knit Fit.  Best of all, classes are scheduled regularly for learning all kinds of techniques—working with air-dry clay, wood burning, painting on silk—and you can for sure learn to tie-dye on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 3.  My favorite project is the decorated flip flops.  Check website for current schedule.

Atterdag Village Serendipity Shoppe  

448 Atterdag Rd., (805) 688-7895.  Tu-Sat 11-5, Sun 11-3, closed M.  Located in a sweet little enclave holding several restaurants and a flower shop, this thrift store is set up much like a gift shop.  Most items in the Atterdag Village Serendipity Shoppe are in excellent condition and at a good price.  You’ll find fine china, carved crystal goblets, linens, and more.  Adding to the pleasure, fresh-baked cookies are usually available.  All proceeds benefit low-income seniors in a local senior living residence.
