Coffee, scones and yarn addictions

So I love to knit and to a lesser extent crochet, and that's only because I'm still learning. But eating is right up there with my fiber fever. In my perfect world, I could do both, all day long, and not have to worry about weight gain, finances, my creaking house or who will be the next President of the U.S.

I've only found a few LYSs around here that have a coffee bar in the store: The LambShoppe in Denver and KnitKnack in Arvada. Maybe it's due to restrictive health code laws or a fear that spilled coffee permanently damages the yarn merchandise, but I think more LYSs should have coffee bars. Offering a few treats (such as my all-time favorite, scones) would be even better. This little extra would encourage me to sit down, pull out one of my 20+ WIPs and most likely buy something. Plus, I'd love to talk with the owners or whoever happens to be there, too.

The above scenario is what I do at Starbucks all the time. I'd just feel more comfortable in a yarn shop.
