The Yarn Garage is as close as your dreams. Here is a group from the Northern Twin Cities Suburbs, hearing about the Yarn Garage, they came down and met with Steven. They will be back. This is now their yarn store. The Yarn Garage is as near as your dream projects. Steven has it all there. Come on in and see for yourself. We have people who have come from all over the world to the Yarn Garage.
It was a grand Urban Knitter's gathering at Wilde Roast. There was not enough room in the conference room and the crowd spilled out into the main restaurant/coffee shop. We are getting so many people at Wilde Roast that we will have to figure out something to accommodate all the new people.
Apple Valley, Minnesota has an Art Fair every fall and this one, we decided to go to. Steven - our own Glitter Knitter, Cassidy - the Glitter Knitter Assistant, Lori and Bob were all there. Hundreds of folks flocked in and were dazzled by the Glitter Knitter creations and the wonderful and outrageous yarns and patterns. Bob played fiddle with Michael Monroe for a couple of tunes. 
Cassidy Schuster, Steven's Assistant, took his knitting to the polls today and recruited some of the other folks during the two hour wait to stop out and visit at the Yarn Garage and meet Steven. He is currently working on a wonderful felted bag. People were astonished and a couple of knitters wished they were knitting. A woman in line had been out to the Yarn Garage. Knitting is everywhere you want it to be.
Every other Sunday, Steven, The Glitter Knitter, meets with a wild group of fiber artists at Wilde Roast, in Northeast Minneapolis. This Sunday, Christa Berg, Steven's mom, who has her own shop in middle Wisconsin, was onboard teaching right along with her son. This is always an occasion for new ideas, new techniques, new products just arrived at the Yarn Garage, and some fantastic deals for the folks who come out. Great fiber fun was had by all.
One of the very few things you can be sure of around Steven Berg, the Glitter Knitter, is that fashion fibers will abound and deals will flow. This evening a gang of folks were at the Rosemount Starbucks for the Glitter Knitter Jam. Baskets of new stock and hundreds of ideas and show and tells and fashion knitting knowledge flowed around the tables with Steven at the helm and Christa, the Senior Glitter knitter in attendance with Bob White on the violin serenading the entire crew. We got 100% of our daily fiber needs as established by the GKFA, (Glitter Knitter Fiber Authority). Steven unveiled all the hottest new trends for Fall/Winter 2008/2009. We witnessed Steven's cureall for Holiday Gift Giving. We fought the financial downturn with our handmade gifts created with love. There was an astounding felted scarf with sewn and felted adornments. There were Angora wonders, and Christa brought some fashion fasteners milled from wood by a Wisconsin artisian. Many of these items are only available from Steven at the Yarn Garage. Ohhhs and Ahhhhs abounded with fresh and exciting revelations from Steven and Christa. Wish you could have been there.
What is it that goes on in that back room on East Hennepin? Certainly no political agenda. What does Steven have in the strangely shaped bag he just got in? What specials will he have for those brave souls who venture into the back room? Well, we found out this afternoon at Wilde Roast with the Urban Knitters. You have to come if you want to be in on the know. Some very special fall secrets were shared with a special preview of some of the newest stock that just came in this week.
