Additionally their needlepoint patterns are unreasonably overpriced.I think they charge extra only due to the fact they are on Newbury steps away from the Taj hotel. P.S. you are right about the reality TV show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10789997.post-59252685033942687592007-10-16T17:09:00.000-07:002007-10-16T17:09:00.000-07:00Thanks for your review of the yarn stores. I just ...Thanks for your review of the yarn stores. I just want to add my two cents. Today went to Mary Jo Cole's Knit and Needlepoint store on Newbury Street. It is way overpriced! I knew I would be paying a bit more for supplies just because the store was on Newbury St but I didn't realize how much the markup was until I found the same materials online for half the price! I'm relatively new to knitting so I am not familiar with prices in the first place. I definitely won't shop there again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10789997.post-1142905537503525542006-03-20T17:45:00.000-08:002006-03-20T17:45:00.000-08:00Sister - I need a good book to read.
