I’m in Central Maine…I second Stonington, it’s freakin’ cold. I’m working on a sweater right now and it’s going pretty well. It’s my first “big” project.

I’m in Michigan, but the Maine coast is one of my very favorite vacation spots. I can’t imagine being there in Jan or Feb tho’. Michigan is cold enough. Br-r-r-r-r!

Yes…from Maine also. Little north of Bangor …which seems a lot closer to the coast when you actually look at it on a map. I always think of this area as the middle but it’s really not!

Yes, COLD!

Not from Maine but used to go there as a kid. It’s my father’s favorite place in the world, I think…when I was little they would leave us with my grandparents in NY and go on a windjammer out of Camden for a week, but that got too expensive. Then we rented a cabin a couple of years on Lake Megunticook in Lincolnville (this is in the early 1970s…)… and now my parents go for a week on Mt. Desert every fall (AFTER Labor Day!).

I am in Gorham right down the road from Knitters Korner

#14

I went to USM for 2 years and stayed in the dorms the first year, then had an apartment in Gorham for the 2nd year. I loved that area, so close to Portland, but not right in the city. But I’m back in the town where I grew up because I like the school system.

#15

What town is that?

#16

I’m not from Maine, but :heart: your beautiful state! My kids go to Hidden Valley Camp in the summer for a few weeks and DH and I look forward to visiting them as well as touring around while we’re up there.
