Overview: We were four long time friends who believe in the philosophy that friends who sit together should knit together.  After sharing 15 years of sitting and watching our children at the local baseball fields, soccer fields and hockey rink, we found ourselves facing the empty nest syndrome.  We decided to continue sitting together and share thoughts and knitting afforded us the best avenue to achieve this goal.  We started knitting in October of 2004 and immediately became hooked.  We spent every spare minute knitting as our new obsession began taking over our lives.  Soon, we were traveling all over the Minneapolis area exploring every yarn shop we could find.  Realizing that we could not get specialty yarn in our home area, Coon Rapids, MN, we thought out loud: "Why not open our own shop." Thus was the birth of All About Yarn, a specialty yarn shop.  Because we like to sit and knit we decided to incorporate this theme into our store and have included a beautiful fireplace and living room setting into the middle of our shop.  After six years of owning All About Yarn together we have all aged but our love for knitting has not.  However, it was time for some changes to occur in our lives.  Carol retired and moved to the Alexandria area, Cheryl is pursuing other interests and Paula decided she was ready to be done with the business part of owning a yarn shop.  That left Rox and she decided to become sole proprietor of All About Yarn. Paula continues on as a teacher and of course knitter for the shop.
