The original LYS is Yarn Garage; the newer store in Minneapolis is Steven Be. Both stores are owned by Steven Berg, knitter and salesman extraordinaire.

"I'm about inspiration," Berg says, "and letting people-as classic as they may be, as traditional as they may become and experience a little hit of the magic, because you'll go home enthused about those traditional, classic projects that you are working on as well." It's a creative spirit that enables knitters, he believes. "If you have that true passion for this, you don't need to follow all the predesigned rules." For the complete article click here.
