The Knit Knack Shop is a mom & pop business with supplies and helpful information for knitting…read more Although they cater to machine knitters, It's where I get my yarn to make all of my crochet & hand knitted baby blankets I give as gifts. These baby blankets are always well loved as they are super soft for babies. I normally use 1 end Cotton Tale 8 (100% Cotton) & 1 end Micro Tamm (100% Microfiber Acrylic). They are perfect together. The cotton shrinks a bit when it's washed, and the microfiber gets very soft. Since the cotton shrinks a little, it makes for a nice solid blanket without holes (unless you make it lace). Sometimes I will use Bebe if I'm looking for a different color than is available in Micro Tamm. But most of my gifts are in white; sometimes other colors. They all machine wash & dry really well, and they are stain resistant in my experience. Sometimes I crochet & sometimes I knit the baby blankets. The best is that I only need to get 1 cone of each to make a baby blanket - that means I don't have to weaving in millions of ends! Just 1 at the beginning & 1 at the end. I just love that. I definitely recommend using this yarn for crochet & hand knitting. Full disclosure... My parents own this business. BUT I have to say of all the yarn I've tried for baby blankets, it's still the yarn I choose to purchase! And everyone who is has gotten one of my baby blankets comments on the quality and hand feel of the yarn over & over.

Simply a nice place to visit…read more I had not been out on the campus of St. Mary's for 25+ years. I specifically visited last week to pop into the White Violet Center and their Farm Store. Although there were not many fruits nor vegetables for purchase (I imagine it can often simply be about timing), I enjoyed going into the Farm Store in addition wandering the grounds to see where the greenhouses and gardens are located that would grow the fruits and veggies I could not purchase. The store has local honey and natural products from cheese and meet to pickles and granola. Not a wide variety, but the store is charming and I glad I stopped in. The White Violet Center grounds as not only the Farm Store, but the orchard, greenhouses, bee boxes and of course the alpacas. Females and males are kept in separate pastures, but they are so cute you have to go see them. They are bizarre, peculiar and beautiful. Who knew?...alpacas in Indiana. Now I would not wonder out there weekly to get fresh veggies because I am not close by, but the property of St. Mary's and thus White Violet are beautiful grounds and are worthy of a visit. If ever in the area, it would be worth it to stop in.
