Summary: Today's topics include: Local Yarn Store Love Misadventures Hot Off the Needles What we are Working On Local Yarn Store Love Local Yarn Store Daywas April 21st and was created by TNNA to support and boost interest in local yarn shops. We mentioned the closing of Knitterly and Adirondack Yarns. Local yarn shops create knitting community and provide educational resources. Even if you already have more yarn than you can possibly knit in a lifetime, you can support your LYS by taking classes and participating in knit alongs! Plus, purchase your needles and notions from your LYS. Every little bit helps. Tara mentioned Lovelyarns in Baltimore, MD.
