NILES — This weekend, one downtown Niles storefront was filled with sharp needles and multi-colored yarn.

Sunday, Shelf Life Bookstore, which is owned and operated by the Niles Downtown Development Authority, partnered with downtown Dowagiac yarn shop, Yarn on Front, to host a beginner’s knitting class.

Proceeds from the store — including the knitting class fee — support the Niles DDA Main Street. Ten percent of sales are also donated to the Niles District Library.

Attending the class were Alicia and Grace Swenson, of Bridgman, Kaelynn Smith, of Niles, Melody Conrad, Sara Essig, of Yarn on Front, and Mary Fron, of Shelf Life. (Leader photos/SARAH CULTON)
