No matter how much we love knitting—and we can all agree we love it a lot—sometimes our needles fall silent.

Next Week in Los Angeles
The very first-annual Yarn Crawl LA County takes place next week from Thursday April 12 to Sunday the 15th. Dozens of yarn stores are taking part across LA County, from Santa Monica and Santa Clarita to Long Beach and Claremont.
