DH and I are leaving tonite for Richmond Hill GA to see his college roomate for Thanksgiving. I have the car for Friday while they go fishing.
Hoping to see some must-see stores. Any in the area?

Thks
Colleen

In case you're near Savannah -- Rebecca can help you out there. There are at least 3 stores that I remember ... with The Red Needle being tops.

Sorry, no big 'After Thanksgiving Sales' at the yarn shops...BUT...that doesn't mean a thing...Red Needle is still the place to be

Red Needle is a large store with LOTS of yarn & goodies, a sitting area for knitting, owned & operated by Micky Landau..sweetest LYS owner around! She was actually the test knitter for my sock pattern that was published :D ....she knows EVERYTHING about knitting

1711 E. Victory Dr. (midtown) easy to find, anyone can direct you
http://www.redneedleyarns.com/

Wild Fibre Smaller shop in historic district, I don't shop there very often, it's on the other side of town from me, cute shop.
912-238-0514 10am - 5pm
409 E. Liberty St.

Twiggs Mostly needlepoint supplies, I believe. I was told that they carry knitting yarn for babie & some for felting.

Have fun, if you can only hit one store, Red Needle would be my suggestion

That's right, Becca. And you better stop by to see ME and the Ya-Yas! You can guest spot at our meeting, too. We'd be sooo cool to have a DESIGNER at our meetings!
