Are there any yarn or craft shops in Waltham or Newton? I know of the one in Lexington center.

Yarn/Craft stores

Local places to us include:
Island Yarn on River Street Waltham
Puttin on the Knitz on Washington Street Newton
Ben Franklin Crafts in Belmont (either Belmont Street or Trapelo Rd - I'm not sure what section of the road it is so I don't know what is what - the name changes at one point).

There's a Ben Franklin?!?! That's awesome!! I grew up with a Ben Franklin in my small town, but it went out of business when I was in High School. I had no idea they were this wide-spread! It's not the greatest craft store, but yet I'm as giddy as K was last night about her chocolate and ice cream, LOL!

What about fabric? Anything beside JoAnn over in Natick or up in Burlington?
