One of the essential things you will need when you knit is a good yarn store. These professionals provide so many things; yarns in more colors and varieties then you could dream of, expert help when you’re stuck, a community and companionship when you get together to knit, and every tool you might need.
My favorite yarn store is A Piece of Ewe in Bay City, Michigan. They are still my “go to” shop for yarn and expertise even though I live in Washington D.C. Yes~ they will ship!
While you can find yarn in a lot of different places, and yes, I do buy yarn at Michael’s and other places, yarn specialty stores have items you just can’t find anywhere else. I’ve made these watermelon socks three times. I’ve hoped to make a pair for myself but they get “claimed”. The first pair went to my daughter who was trying to put them on even before I’d finished, the second and third pairs went to a friends who needed a bit of love and encouragement. But this is the kind of thing you can only find at a good yarn shop.
Happy knitting!
