Last weekend, DH and I along with my brother and SIL drove to Viroqua Wi to check out Driftless Books and Music. They bill themselves as possibly Wisconsin’s largest used bookstore, and they may well be right. Situated in an old warehouse, Driftless Books and Music is stuffed full of books, magazines, records, CDs, tapes,… Continue reading Adventures in Dairyland: Viroqua
Last weekend, DH and I went on a mini-adventure to the nearby-ish towns of Wausau and Stevens Point. The main objectives of the trip was to visit bookstores in each town, which we did do. However, each town also had a yarn shop, so we needed to stop at those too. The first stop was… Continue reading Yarn Shops Aplenty

In the course of our travels, we stopped at a yarn shop in Delavan WI, Needles ‘n Pins. This shop is kind of in the middle… Continue reading Needles ‘n Pins Yarn Shop

While we were in Two Rivers… Continue reading Intertwined – Yarn Shop Visit!
I actually visited this shop a week or so ago but just hadn’t gotten around to posting about it until now. Fibre is a great yarn shop in the nearby town of Neenah. They have a fantastic variety of yarns, books, and notions. The yarns are arranged by fiber type – a section each for… Continue reading Fibre – Yarn Shop Visit!
With our move away from Anchorage AK, I had to say goodbye to my wonderful LYS, Far North Yarn. I did actually stop in to say goodbye and exchange contact info with Annie, the owner.

DH and I spent the last two weeks in Wisconsin, traveling around the state and seeing the sights. While we were there, I got to visit a few yarn shops. Because of course I did!
