Pocono's, PA

[Shellie_wnj]

I saw a PA thread from a while ago, but didn't see anyone from the Poconos. Does anyone hail from around here? I would love to meet up with others, but it seems like crochet/knit is a dying art around here. You have to drive 30 minutes just to get yarn! I am the only person I know who crochets, literally!

I was in the Poconos a couple of months ago. Loved it! We stayed at the Pocmont Lodge. There's a candle factory there I love. In our travels I didn't see one yarn store, LOL.

I was raised in a little town called Starrucca, PA near the Poconos.

we stayed in Jim Thorpe a couple years ago - it was a really quaint little town. I also have friends that just moved back there, near hazelton. Been there too...they had a nice festival of lights in the town park.

I want to go back!!

I LOVE the candle factory! Oh, and you didn't see a yarn store because there isn't one!!! So frustrating. I have to order anything that isn't red heart off the net.

Come on back!!! :-) Hazelton is also a bit far, though.

 

We need more crocheters here!!!!

We are about an hour away (give or take). We enjoy going up near Lake Wallenpaupak. When we go I always make sure that I take enough yarn!

I honeymooned at Pocono Gardens in 1973. It's probably gone.

I honeymooned at Pocono Palace in '85. It's still there, we just saw it.
