I told you yesterday that I was inspired, after work I stopped off at Apple Yarns and got what I need to make the slippers. I'd better make several pairs to help defray the cost of the needles and pattern, these are some expensive slippers. But I was in one of those "grab what you need, don't look at the price" moods so I got it all.
I am glad I supported my local yarn store, and the place was really buzzing even though it was a Wednesday afternoon. There was a full table of knit group knitters chatting and clicking away as well as several shoppers besides myself. They recently moved into a new location , it didn't seem much bigger but I think that's because the added a lot more luscious yarn. I glanced, but I was on a mission!
So now I'm inspired to get my sweater done so I can start on the slippers. I'm about 1/2 way down the second sleeve though progress will slow down soon as I get to the cables. Then there's the edging, not sure what you call it but that will take awhile.
I took a walk around the yard yesterday afternoon to see what was growing and I saw some sprouts of my sweet peas! Yea! I was getting worried. I also think I saw a little bit of a Dahlia poking up and there's sunshine predicted for this weekend.
That blue yarn is gorgeous. Is it the same intensity in person? The blue is about the same shade as Penn State's colors.
ReplyDeleteI see you got some Addi Turbos. I'm slowly collecting those in the 47" & 60" lengths. My 2 favorite lengths. You can knit anything in the round on those.
