I’m sure this pop-up shop trend pisses off landlords, but until this whole economy thing sorts itself out, I fully welcome new and inventive ways to use empty storefronts. I wrote last month about Kill Devil Hill in Greenpoint turning into a bakery boutique and now they’re showing you a little love in return with a three day event promoting and teaching the DIY ethic.
The folks over at Brooklyn Skillshare will be leading free knitting classes on Sunday. If you feel the same way about needles as I do, leave it to the experts and peruse tons of local handmade goods from BAM’s beef jerky, Old Hollywood (a personal favorite of mine), and many more. Be sure to get there early to get your share of free food and drinks, there will also be lectures and giveaways for other handmade enthusiasts.
