yarn store

Would it be too much to ask for a local yarn store in this town? Preferably something carrying this, this, this, this, and at least a yarn with something in it other than acrylic or cotton (cotton feels weird I dunno why). At the moment my local yarn store (aka running out in the middle of the day to get some yarn to start or finish something) is Wal-Mart (if they get rid of the yarn section like in the one in the next town or w/e it is, I'm going to boycott Wal-Mart!!) Okay, maybe not boycott seeing as that's our only shopping thing in this town and I'm just lazy I don't want to drive two hours or more to buy toilet paper.

By the way, I've been trying to come up with something to write to put into my senior writing portfolio and have come up with a fabulous idea! (Maybe not to the people reading I might confuse the hell out of them). But it will be an article on...knitting meeting aromatherapy. What kind of music do you listen to? Do you have a candle lit or something scented to help you relax as you knit and purl (or struggle with that stupid pattern that looks so pretty in the picture!)? Has knitting gotten you through a stressful time (i.e. final exams, diagnosis of a disease of a loved one or yourself, death of your goldfish, etc.)? Is there a relaxing yarn of choice?

If anyone reads this and knows of anyone with a knitting blog please link them here if I can get it written up soon that will be great (and of course it will be here!). And if I can get my hands on some of that lavender-scented yarn (can't think of what it is called but I'll find out) I will totally write about it.

Thanks ahead of time!
