If you live in the Northland area of Kansas City... and would like to start a knitting night... email me.. I live about 15 min from the airport. I would love to have a knitting group to share ideas and fun with.

I am in Lawrence, and rarely get up in that direction, but I am not too far away, just to chat!
Nice to meet you!

I am pretty sure YarnMommy is in the KC area too. I am up in Omaha so couldn't do a sit n knit night but if ya ever want to plan a fun little yarn crawl or something after christmas or in the spring, I might be up for that!

Let's put something on the back burner for late Feb or March. Maybe have a Saturday night together.. meanwhile have a great day, and happy knitting!!!!!

There's a place in Lawrence you all ought to see (waay too expensive for my taste..but it's worth a visit...Yarn Barn..

What's in Kansas City? Anything in Westport or midtown area?

I love Omaha (and Lincoln) area, what (great) yarn stores are up there?

Omaha has 3 stores, though one (Touche) I haven't been to since I learned to knit there. Small store and halfway across town. Just feels like I am driving to Ohio to get there ya know...

The other stores I love and frequent often though. String of Purls is my favorite. Bright colorful fun store.

Personal Threads is darker but the help is very friendly and they have a great selection. It is pretty small which can be a little annoying when there are others in the store but still...well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Hi,

I just joined this forum today and saw your message about living north of the river in KC.

Me too. Just outside of Parkville. Anyway, I'm new at the forum stuff, used to knit years ago (like 20+) and just recently started up again... its like riding a bicycle.

Anyway, this thread mentioned getting together some Saturday night in February? Right?

I'm not even sure if I'm replying to the correct thread. so bear with me. I saw favorite knitting stores mentioned, I really like Florilegium in Parkville, as well as Stitch Nitch in North KC. Then of course there is always Urban Arts and Crafts in Briarcliff.

I am in Shawnee, and I would also love to participate! A yarn crawl sounds like a great (but expensive) idea!!

Hi all - I'm about 35 min north of the airport!

where is "Stitch Nitch in North KC"? I haven't been there. I've been to The Studio and Urban Arts & Crafts and one other that I can't think of the name right now.

Hey, I'm in KC North too (near Liberty). What a coincidence!

Stitch Knitch is in downtown NKC. It's on Swift, about a block off of Armour. The people are super nice there! Here's their website: http://www.stitchknitch.com/template...t.asp?id=33941
