Common Cod Fiber Guild The authority on all things fiber related in Greater Boston. Led by the inimitable Guido Stein, the group hosts workshops every other month in Cambridge. Check out their blog for the full schedule and membership details!

The Franklin Mill Store This amazing shop has been in the same family for three generations. Housed in a beautiful old mill building in Franklin, MA, you'll find the best selection of fabrics, ribbon, yarn, and service anywhere in Eastern Mass.

The Stitch House Easily my favorite Boston area yarn shop. Stop in for a plentiful and diverse yarn selection, friendly staff, and everything else you need from notions to books to Amy Butler fabric! They even have sewing machines available to use and space to sit and knit a spell in comfort.

Knit Grrl Shannon Oakey; The one, the only.

The Anticraft A darling of a DIY website, specifically geared toward those of us inclined toward the macabre. If a bunch of Dresden Dolls fans got together and made a crafting website, it would look like this, I suspect. Naturally, I am completely in love.

A now-hallowed knitting website - Knitty.com. Chock full o'nuts, as they say. Check it out.

Crafty Chica This woman is amazing. She has a million different projects and articles. But my favorite part is her art: Chicanopopart.com

Luxe Fibre Gorgeous yarn, gorgeous site. Knitters everywhere will click and drool.

Wet Eyes Fashions Joe Segal makes clothes you never thought you could wear, but know you totally should.
