Last week, we asked you to share your knitting/crochet resolutions with us. Hundreds of you responded. Find out what your fellow yarncrafters have resolved to do this year. Click here to read the resolutions.

The second annual Knit Out & Crochet event at Mall of America will be held February 16th and 17th 2008. Over 50,000 yarn enthusiasts are expected to attend. This year you can bring your knit and crochet questions to "Yarn Doctors" at the show. For special travel discounts, information about volunteering and more information, click here.
