Found a Great Quaint Yarn Shop

Harriette's Knit Knook in Madison, IN, it's located at 103 East Main, right next door to the old and still running, Ohio Movie Theater.

If you're ever out on vacation near Southern Indiana, make sure to stop in. This lady has lots of yarn, lovely name brands, books, patterns and beautiful items made up to sell for the crafts person or not. Learning classes galore and all topped off with lots of charm.

Madison, IN is a riverfront town. Not real big, which is great cause you can walk up and down Main St and check out all the super little shops and fantastic places to eat. Make sure to drive down to the river and sit a spell. You can watch the barge boats run up and down the river and they're starting work on the new bridge between Kentucky and Indiana. They have picnic tables, lots of places to park, benches and even a couple of restaurants.

WHAT A DAY!!

Have you ever had a day that you spend hours on the phone doing all those chores that you've put off for a long time?

That's been my day so far. I would rather be knitting or crocheting. Maybe later today. I've started working on a new pattern for a ruffly loofa with a twist. Hopefully I'll be posting the pattern and some pics here soon. So check back.

Yikes!!! Does anyone have any Debbie Mumm Yarn?

WOW!!!! I just looking for a yarn that was made for Joann Crafts, called Debbie Mumm Traditions. Nothing on Joann's site, it's no longer available. Not even on eBay. How could it all disappear that quickly? They may no longer sell it BUT, surely it's out there somewhere.

If anyone has seen Debbie Mumm or has Debbie Mumm Traditions Yarn, please let me know, I really loved the stuff.

Fiber and Yarn Festival Announcement

Since I love anything that is related to yarn and fiber, I wanted to add this website to my blog. It's information about a new (First Time) fiber festival in Kentucky, May 15 and 16 2010.

The Festival is being held in conjunction with the world-famous Bluegrass Classic Stockdog Trial. The site has general info about the festival, info for vendors and an amazing list of classes for all types of yarn crafts, including spinning and weaving. If you're in the Kentucky area or plan to be make sure to check out the website and mark your Calendars.
