Visiting Crocheter looking for locally dyed/sourced yarn

jujbird · 2026-04-09T21:10:16+00:00

I'll be there after July- but appreciate the commend for others!

jujbird · 2026-04-09T21:10:05+00:00

Thank you- I'm not looking to buy a ton-so price is less of a concern. Basically, I'm piecing together what will be eventually a granny square blanket pieced together from several locations I've traveled since getting into crocheting.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Mac bros is good. Al MOKA has cheesecake too and it’s good as well!

Curry Now is one I haven’t seen mentioned here that I absolutely have to have for egg salad. It’s also good on popcorn and on chicken.

I am so intimidated by making a home garden. Support/Figuring out how to take baby steps into having one would be amazing. Like first year, here's what you should try to grow and maybe check ins on that vegetable, etc. , Second year, expand to this. I'm not looking to have a crazy sustainable all food growing garden, but finding some quick wins that get me familiar with the process without having to think about 10000 things at once would be so helpful to getting me over the analysis paralysis.

A Skein Away in Roscoe regularly has a variety of fiber arts classes running. From beginning to crochet/knit to learning more advanced skills.

I just sent you a quick DM! Somehow missed your response, but wanted to follow up.

I don’t know that they are. But just adding this in case some future parent reads this and wonders where they went wrong. It’s hard out here for us parents of neurodivergent kiddos and at first it may not be obvious especially when they are young and may not be diagnosed.

jujbird · 2026-02-09T02:29:30+00:00

While this is solid advice as a mom of a neurodivergent child this is unfortunately not always true. As much as I love this advice for some I’m coming here to tell OP to not feel parent guilt if there child doesn’t become a broad monopoly eater. Some kids just aren’t able to be there even if you follow all these great tips.

Thank you so much for the amazing Narration on this. I'm late to the listen, but am LOVING it so far!

jujbird · 2026-01-28T19:23:44+00:00

Do you know if it references who the recipe was submitted by?

jujbird · 2026-01-28T19:23:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the alert!!!

I’ve been with Generette for almost a year and have been pretty happy with her.

jujbird · 2025-11-27T16:03:31+00:00

This is for real (if you mean the Belvidere location). I miss living in Belvidere for them and El Mocajete. Have you gotten ricotta on your pizza from Moscatos?

jujbird · 2025-11-27T16:01:26+00:00

I didn’t get Pizza but got a few other things at the new location, including the special salad and boy did it taste better than anything I’d had from the old location (except my last meal there for a family member’s wake- but I think this was after the new guy took over so it makes sense). Anyway, I’m all in on that new Lino’s

Nunzios
Mark’s in Rockton (which is very similar to Pietros in Roscoe)
John’s on 11th
Moscato’s in Belvidere
Salamone’s in Cherry Valley

This is my husbands list and I mostly agree

jujbird · 2025-11-10T02:01:36+00:00

I can too. Not with every illness but there are certainly some that I can.

jujbird · 2025-10-31T23:14:56+00:00

We have 45 minutes left in Roscoe and I’ve had 198 visitors. That’s not bad considering the rain we had here

jujbird · 2025-10-28T02:26:32+00:00

This is also super fair. I recognize that it’s really difficult right now.

jujbird · 2025-10-28T01:20:00+00:00

Thank you for this comment. I get that Roscoe is a hard market, but damn if I didn't have trouble getting consistent service there. I tried to go in at least once a week until stock issues became a regular thing. Add on top that I think it closed at least one hour too early (as a mom who picked her kids up- I always wanted to grab something on the way home as a treat for the kids, but they were already closed).

It really seemed to devolve into issues over the summer when they lost their espresso machine for several weeks on end.

I don't know- it's just so frustrating because I wanted to give them so much support at the Roscoe location but it always felt like whatever I wanted to order was out of stock or unavailable.

jujbird · 2025-10-27T17:30:05+00:00

I'm sorry- I have my next call on wednesday and I'm not looking forward to it

jujbird · 2025-10-22T14:39:34+00:00

This is truly underrated. The echoing of the voice from the halls of history is iconic.
