Our knitting and crocheting group is losing our weekly "knit night" get together when Jimmy Beans closes its retail store next month. We're looking to find a cozy place where we can lounge or hang out and have fun. Not sure if a coffee place would welcome a group of 10-15 women for two hours every week, but that could be a good option. I know Yarn Refuge has a knit night, but they have their own group of knitters. We're looking for a new place for us. Any and all suggestions are welcome!!

I've just started learning sock knitting and I'm afraid my stitches will fall off or I'll misplace the single needle when I set them aside. Any tips or tricks?

I'm learning to knit and have a pattern for a cowl that will be knit in the round and have a circumference of 50". The yarn is bulky (Scarfie). The pattern calls for 29" circular needles. I have 24" and 32" interchangeables. Which would be better to use?

I'm making a crochet bag for a gift and one of the yarns is Premier Stitch Please Superwash Worsted in the color Sweater Weather. I ran out and needed one more skein, so I went to the Premier website to buy more. Out of stock! I found it on Etsy (sold by Premier) and placed an order. Cancelled! Again on Amazon. Cancelled. No one on Ravelry was selling it, either. So I went to yarnsub.com and found that Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted Superwash was a near perfect match. Found it on Wool & Co. in Charcoal Heather. I just received my order and it's a PERFECT match. 😊

I love my Kobo Libra and use it to check out library books using Libby. I like that it keeps a list of all the books I've read in My Books. However, three times now when I finish a book and return it, the book is deleted from the list. I've tried resyncing, but they don't come back. It's like I never read the books at all. 😕 Is there any way to get them back on the list?

Jimmy Beans is my LYS. I hope the sale doesn't destroy what Laura Zander has built.

Symfonie needles are not listed on the Knitpro US website, yet I see many retailers selling them (Hobbii, Rito, Amazon). Have the rainbow Symfonies been replaced with the Dreamz series?

I just found this site. Wool & Co. They seem to carry a lot of brands, their prices look good, and they have free shipping on all orders in the U.S. What has been your experience with them?

Joann posted a list of the 500 of their 800 stores that are closing permanently. Carson City and Elko are on the list, but Reno is not. https://www.joannrestructuring.com/

Paypal sent me an email saying I had received $100 and was ready for me to accept the money. The sender was ME and the transaction note is "Practice." I logged into my PayPal account, and sure enough, it says I have $100 waiting for me, from me. This is a scam, right?! I am not going to accept this money.
