I decided to Look at these shops before going home. It only takes about two hours so I had all day. I just wanted to sleep in my usual bed.
Knitter’s Nest was a pleasant surprise. It has everything I want in a yarn shop. There was a great variety of yarns, books and patterns. I would have liked to see more needles, but you know I am a needle snob. I loved the cozy sitting area. The owner was pleasant and helpful, not pushy like that one in Glyndon. I’ll definitely be going back.
Now for Large Marge. I won’t be going back.
I’ve got one sock finished. This pattern was easy to memorize.

Hi! Just wondering, what underwhelmed you at Large Marge’s? I live nearby, but usually go to “All About Yarn” in Columbia(the owners are great), and was curious if it was even worth checking out.
I’m not a highly experienced knitter, so buying information is always welcome!

I just stopped in at large marge’s shop. I was curious, and thought while too much space was unused, and not enough samples were on display, that the store had potential. I will try several of the nightly knitting groups to see if the ATMOSPHERE is promising, All About Yarn is a great store and has been in business prior to the recession. Let’s give large marge a chance.
