- All who participated in Yarn Quest 2011: A Fiber Journey. This was the biggest turnout yet. It was so much fun to see everyone out for the love of fiber.
- Everyone who made donations to the food shelf. At the Yarnery alone, we collected over 300 lbs of non-perishable items and $120. It warms my heart that we were able to provide so much to the Second Harvest Heartland, especially at this slow time of the year.
- Angela Radzyuk of All for Love of Yarn for dying our limited edition yarn. She was a pure joy to work with and dyed one fantastic colorway.
- To all the sponsors who donated (click here for a complete list) to the Grand Prize and First Prizes. The response was overwhelming. Take a look for yourselves at the Grand Prize
and one of the First Prizes 
We hope you had fun. I know we did and look forward to having you join us again next year. And speaking of next year, both the 'Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop' Ravelry group and Facebook page are permanent and will be updated when further information is available.
