This is a solo episode with host, Stephanie Socha. The two main topics are YarnCon 2025 and my final trip to JoAnn Fabrics.
This was my first time attending YarnCon, a trade show type event for the knitting, crochet, hand dyers and yarn community. Vendor booths from IL and surrounding states show their beautiful product, much of it hand made, hand dyed and all of it stunning! Below is a list of the vendors from the 2025 show that just took place last weekend (4/5 and 4/6) in Chicago.

The building that YarnCon was held is a historic beaux arts architecture and art deco design. The link below is the resource I used in this episode.
Final Shopping at JoAnn Fabrics
The second part of this episode is a recap of my final trip to JoAnn Fabrics before they close forever. A common issue with most shoppers I have heard from and chatted with is that the discounts are not really discounted. The prices were raised to MSRP and then slightly discounted. These prices are higher than a JoAnn shopper would have paid prior to the company closing announcement.
If you plan to make one more trip to JoAnn’s, I share tips on what to look for and how to shop the discounts in your favor while enjoying the nostalgia one last time.
