A Get together sounds like fun!

I would love to thank everyone for keeping this thread going.
I thought I would put where we live after the end of our names (for easier reference for this brain of mine)
Eventually I would like to get a knitting gathering together with all of you Minnesota knitters posting here. Any interest? I would be considering next year 2008. . . (which is already almost here)!

Wingem - you are busy . . . . now that the cold weather is here I too can’t wait to get home to knit. Is there such a thing as too much knitting and yarn? Especially when the DollarTree has Boucle normally selling for $6 for sale for $1. !!!!!!! It is wonderful that a $24 scarf can be created for $3 and have given about 25 scarves to girlfriends and am now planning to make and donate scarves to Sharing and Caring Hands. I also had a yarn donation provided to me which helps! (West St. Paul)

Hey mulderknitter,

Mayday

I am over in North Mpls, right by north memorial hospital. I work for Fairview.
My favorite LYS is Crafty Planet, but I have to admit I haven't been to a whole lot of them. Bella Lana just opened in northeast, and they have a lot of luxury yarns that are really nice too.

I used to work right across from Loring park and the Walker art center. I'll have to check out the new store in the NE. I used to live right by prospect park in SE so I would go to Depth of Field, but now living in the western suburbs, I just haven't founf a store closer to me that I really like yet.

mayday

This term "LYS" is new to me - what does it mean?

I'm from Anoka. Are there any groups around the cities that get together and knit? I was just in Fargo this weekend and MIL noticed that the Michales there has a thing where you can pay 5 dollars and sit and knit in there store for an hour once a week. Do any of them in the metro have that? Has anyone ever gone? I am having some real trouble with this pattern and might need some hands on help.
