Well...I've been in Wisconsin for long enough now to kick my knitting skills into gear (I've experienced most of 1 Wisconsin winter and realize good knitted accessories is essential).  I'm looking to start a SNB in Stevens Point but is isn't going well - partly because I don't know very many people and also because I don't know very many people I don't know many knitters.  I learned to felt this year and I'm super pumped about it!
