You guys. Bob owns a yarn shop. Eeeee! (Basically, this fic and Buy Handmade by jjtaylor are the fics of my crafty fangirl soul. Buy Handmade sustained me through "I'm going to learn to make SOMETHING, dammit" - which turned out to be jewelry - and sl1 k2tog psso is going to sustain me through "I'm going to learn to knit, dammit.")

Anyone got recs for a yarn shop in or near Boston? T-accessible is preferred, although Ellie has a car and can sometimes be bribed or badgered into driving me around.

I'm top-over-tea kettle for A Good Yarn in Brookline. Their prices are fair, and their staff is lovely. Normally, I get treated poorly in yarn stores (face full of piercings, fat, mini-skirt, unshaven legs, funny haircut); but the folks at A Good Yarn didn't even flinch. It was nice, because I get shitty treatment in most city yarn stores.

I like them a lot.

If you ever hit up Philly, DC, or NYC, you should request info there, too. I have favorites in many cities!

I suspect my trips to this one will result in stops at the Popeyes in Kenmore on my way home. Not that this is a bad thing, mind you, except maybe for my arteries. :)

I occasionally wind up in Philadelphia and New York, but for concerts, which means I'm not there long. :\ In New York, I don't even bother with "place to sleep." I just catch the ass o'clock bus out of Port Authority.
