{more Chicago yarn stores}

Over the holidays my family and I went to Chicago again and I had to visit the other popular yarn stores there.  We went to {nina} and {Knit1}.  My favorite yarn store in Chicago would defiantly be {nina}.  This yarn store was in the cutest part of Chicago and was super easy to find!  There slogan is super cute too {a well knit store}.  They were super welcoming and  really nice.   They also carry Blue Sky Alpaca yarn and any yarn store that carries that I love ;)  When I was looking through the yarn and goodies I saw the most beautiful hat pattern I had to try-  I used rowan cocoon (see photos below)    They have the cutest store and LOTS of yarn!!!  --If you go to or through Chicago you need to stop here!

The second store I stopped at was {knit1}.  I was really bummed when I stopped here because it was a super cute store but the workers never said one word to me-- So I left after awhile and I probably wouldn't go back.  When I open my yarn shop I will make an effort to talk and interact with my customers as much as I can!  I love talking to people that have the same hobby as me!!!

Here are some pictures of my trip
