Yearning for Yarn

While DG was geeking out on Saturday morning learning CSS with a friend, I went to my new favorite yarn store The Lamb Shoppe. I bought a skein of a beautiful mohair and silk blend (shown here) and a varigated wool to make a fun something for a fun someone who reads the blog. But rats if I can't show you how pretty the pattern is.

I also bought 3 knitting books on Amazon with the word Hip in the title. And as if one yarn store were not enough, later in the afternoon, I had DG drive me to my other favorite yarn store Showers of Flowers because I found out they are selling Vickie Howell's new yarn line that I talked about last week. Vickie did an instore there as well and 175 people showed up! Holy wow. I bought some Buttercup and Wesley from her Love line as that was the color Jen, our winner chose. I am still waiting for the pattern, but hope to make that soon.

My project box is full, now it's time to get cracking and whip up some fun. I want to get these projects done so that I can move on to something bigger and more complex, like a cable knit sweater for the dogs!
