Can anyone recommend a good knitting store in SF?

Thanks.

    I've never seen one that didn't have high prices. Some of them have yarn you can't get anywhere else (like Art Fibers), but I'm personally not willing to pay the extra-high prices.

    I go to my LYS (Yarn Boutique in Lafayette) whenever possible. I highly recommend it. She's even within walking distance from the BART station, so you can BART up there if you have the time.

    Hi, D -- this was posted recently on Ravelry:

    ****
    So, right by ODC Dance on Shotwell and 17th St. There’s a nifty little yarn display in the window. A buddy of mine said that she went in and browsed and it looked lovely. She’s a non-knitter and got excited.

    Does anyone know anything about the place? It’s spitting distance from my house so I’ll be by. It wasn’t open when I swung by, though. I didn’t see a name or hours posted…

    noone's been in it yet (or posted that they have). But let us know!
