OK, so I haven't really been away in the true sense of the word, just busy. Look what popped up while I was "away"!!!
My friend Laura pulled out all the stops and realized her dream of opening her own yarn shop, Sugar Bunny Blvd, in El Dorado, KS. It has the perfect address of Main Street, USA!
That's Laura, hiding behind the counter (look through the glass cubes of Noro).
Sugar Bunny Blvd is a colorful place!
There is a wall of basic yarn in a rainbow of colors.
And there are tables full of more yarn.
The day I stopped in, there was a table of friendly knitters chatting away and a steady flow of people in and out. I actually had to wait in line to check out!
If you find yourself traveling I-35 (aka the KS Turnpike), you'll find Sugar Bunny Blvd at exit 71 (go south to Main St, then one block east on Main to the shop). Stop in and say hi to Laura. She has big plans of what's to come -- more yarn, spinning supplies and eventually fabrics.
Her shop will be one of the new stops on the Central KS Yarn Shop Hop coming Oct. 21-24. Sadly, I won't get to yarn hop this year due to an out-of-town wedding/college visit/check-in-on-the-parents-and-siblings-commitment... but I have enough yarn to stay busy while I travel. And.... I have entertained thoughts of yarn shop hopping while I am away - it's only fair, right?!
Has Tom-Tom or Magellan figured out that they should pre-program yarn shops into their GPS systems? Or is there already an app for that?
