New Stuff
So I dragged my reluctant son out with me on Saturday to go to my favorite yarn store, (they were having a sidewalk sale) I bribed him with the following: If he was good we would hit some garage sales and he could get some new crap (that he doesn't need) He went and was good. The yarn store I wanted to go to I couldn't get near because there were no parking spaces. So I went further down the street to anothter store called the "Yarn Bin". It is a mom and pop type of shop, not fancy or anything. They have Lopi yarn in all sorts of colors. I bought this for my neice for her birthday
I think this is good to get her going
Of course, I couldn't not buy something for myself so I got this
I want to dye it with kool-aide. I can't wait to do this! I have been wanting to try it for a long time.
Well while I was in the yarn store I over heard this older woman (about 60's) say to the owner of the store "You know, knitting has really gone by the wayside" Of course, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I wanted to say to her "Where have you been living, under a rock?" but I didn't, I said something a little more polite, but my hands were on my hips. What the hell? I hope I am not that clueless at 60.

Never one to not follow along with the crowd I decided to rip out the crochet "shawl" (underware) and make this
The pattern is from Stitch Diva. I bought a couple of other pattern too.
