Probably going to be staying with Shane, and I wanted to plan my trip when the most people will be in the area. Just let me know when you can, please. biomata@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888044.post-1149139571348347222006-06-01T00:26:00.000-05:002006-06-01T00:26:00.000-05:00i agree with you about the LYS's in chicago. i gen...i agree with you about the LYS's in chicago. i generally only frequent the one in northwest indiana Sheeps Clothing. they are really good. they have a broad spectrum for ANY and i mean any budget. <BR/><BR/>i've been to loopy yarns in the south loop. they were ok but didn't carry Noro. They had probably the most decent sock yarn collection you will find in the city. <BR/>knitter's niche (off the brown line at southport) is ok. run by mariann. she's a crazy little old lady who knits AMAZING lace. her yarn selection is smaller, but she has good stuff. not a good selection of needles.<BR/>knitting workshop (red line at diversey walk all the way down past children's hospital) is well in lincoln park snootyville. they carry alot of high end yarns. their shop is large and open tho. the owner is always cranky. i said any solid sock yarn last weekend and she looked at me blankly. she said no. so they are not a good place for sock yarns.<BR/>arcadia over up past lincoln square off lawrence (not sure the el stop since i drive it's close to my boyfriend's apt) they are a larger store...altho they have everything separated by color. ANNOYING. also they never carry much "sock" yarn but you can find dale's baby ull and stuff. i really don't like yarn shopping in chicago on a whole. you'd think for a metro city it'd be good...it's not. sorry for the long post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
