My aunt's friend had recommended Stitches and Scones in Westfield, IN to her. My mom drove us there, along with DD2, who started knitting herself now.
It is a nice shop with a good selection of lace yarn and some spinning supplies. The staff were very helpful and one worker spent a long time with my aunt helping her pick out a pattern and yarn for her first lace project. Since I've almost finished DD2's cable sweater, I congratulated myself by buying yarn for DS1. The prices weren't rock-bottom, but were reasonable. The clearance area was neat and easy to browse. They serve free scones and coffee. I'd happily visit again.

Rum-chili Slow-cooked venison steak
Someone requested I share this recipe. My kids like it. It turns out tender but not falling apart. I don't get the "Ew, is this venison?" reaction.
1/4 cup honey-lemon or honey-mustard salad dressing
1/4 cup rum.
Combine and place in slow cooker dish.
Place venison steaks in a layer in the liquid.
Sprinkle meat with 1-2 Tbsp chili powder (I make my own by toasting and grinding a dried New Mexico chili pepper). Salt to taste.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until tender and meat is 160F, turning once after about 3 hours.
I like this U of MN guide to cooking venison.
