Gossip & Innuendo:

Russell's Garden Center Farm Fiber Day  Wendy attended with a friend on February 16.  17 yarn and fiber vendors were selling their wares, along with the usual Farmer's Market fare.  Highly recommend checking it out if you live in the area.

North Shore Yarn Crawl 2013 March 14-17 at various yarn stores on the North Shore of Massachusetts. We probably won’t attend, but it is a fun day of yarn shopping with store event discounts and lots of chances to win drawing prizes.
