Plaza San Mateo — Local services in Albuquerque

I can always find yarn here. I crochet and I absolutely love yarn. Today I got mandala tweed stripes and some Red Heart super saver ombre yarn in the color of anthracite/grafito. The Red Heart yarn is for a Cape that I am making for myself and was designed by Crystal of Bag-O-Day Crochet, check her out on YouTube or FB she is an awesome crocheter, designer and instructor. This is a floor length cape with hood and will take approximately 2300 to 2500 yards (WOW)! The mandala yarn is a blanket for a new family member entering the world after the 1st of the year. I guess I better hurry! I will be crocheting a Chevron pattern and the tutorial (over 1 hour) is done by Creative Grandma who is another absolutely excellent instructor (from YouTube). They also carry the Caron cakes. I really love to crochet with it and it makes for excellent end product! I also love browsing on my way in and then also on my way out, provided that I have the time. I have also purchased a number of pencil sets and charcoal sets to color/,draw with. I love the adult coloring books, however, crochet and yarn reentered my life! Yea for YARN! I did a bit of crocheting for a couple years, pre to early teen years in the 70's.

I am a gigantic dude, and they need to make more room for people to get in and out of the vehicles. Especially since people cannot park any better than they...

Love this place because they have so much inventory. Also like that they email coupons because that does help with bigger puchases. The only thing i dont like is some of the staff are not very helpful, for instance if you're trying to find a specific item, ie. Preggy Pops. They'll just point in a general direction or say something like, "Its over by the diaper bags." It gives the impression that they hate their job and don't care about...
