I dream of a place that sells not only yarn but also coffee - where you can spend an entire afternoon sipping coffee, chatting with friends, and enjoying a relaxing hobby. This group is for crafty, creative, artsy-fartsy people of all ages in the Charlotte area who enjoy creating unique items with their own two hands. I personally enjoy knitting and crocheting (but recently picked up needle felting after seeing a woman doing it at a craft group), but you don't have to work with string to be a part of String and Bean. Share your love of stamps, scrapbooking, jewelry-making, painting, sewing, quilting, weaving, calligraphy, origami, etc.
