Hi, I just found your site and think it is great. I don't have a yarn shop to recommend because there are no shops that I know of in Knoxville where I live. I found one on the other side of town but was unimpressed with it. Lots of yarn but not warm and inviting. There was a sign up that said if you ask for help with a knitting problem the first 15 minutes are free and after that you must schedule an appt. and pay a fee. I was a little turned off by this and wondered if it was the usual way in other yarn shops.
