Yarn

[firecat]

I've lived here five years and I've never been into the local yarn shop, Creative Hands, until today. pleonastic dropped by there before visiting a couple of weeks ago, and came away with something very pretty, so it has been on my mind. I went in today on the pretext of getting knitting needles to wind jump rings on. I got the knitting needles, but I also ended up getting seduced by this.

The woman who sold it to me claimed I could make a 1-skein scarf out of it. We shall see...

Too bad I never got a chance to drag you into Straw Into Gold (http://www.straw.com/) back when they had a retail store. Much yarny goodness. Back when I worked a couple of blocks away, I used to go in and (metaphorically) drool over the spinning wheels. Hmmm...maybe I should mount another search for those "make your own wheel" plans...

Ooh! [Snitching it into the bookmark file]

I think I'll stick to already spun yarn for a while, though. Not quite time to collect a new hobby yet :-)
