So, I'd been looking for a place to buy yarn to start some projects I had in mind - a hat/scarf/mittens set for me amongst other random things I've never knit before such as socks - and I found out through a friend about Sit N' Knit in South Bend. Wal-Mart is fine, but they only carry so much, so this was exciting! I decided to make a trek out there after work on Friday, only to find that the shop was closed. Closed as in I think they are shut down and emptying out the place.
Fortunately, I went to the farmer's market with one of my friends and on the way saw a crafts shop having a sale... and yes, they had yarn! I got some nice silky wool for my hat/scarf/mittens set, not quite in the color I really liked (they didn't have enough) but I think I might end up liking this one better. It's a limey green (not quite highlighter) but it also has some flecks of other colors in it. I think it will turn out nicely. Also, since they had a sale, I bought other stuff too. I got some sock yarn (I can't believe I'm gonna try to make a sock!) and other colorful yarn that was like $2. Sadly, I think I'm starting my stash. :)

Sit and Knit has a booth at the World's Largest Farmer's Market (or whatever) in Elkhart (first of 3 exits on bypass 20, south) The yarn was ok but expensive. I have to be a better knitter to spend that kind of money. Good luck on your sock. I have 1 made. 1/2 pair to go!
