The stuff you can find.....
at AC MOORE. I am having the best luck there! Typically you are just overloaded on the fun fur and novelty crap. Really it can give one vertigo if you look at it for too long. But every now and then you can find something good. Take a look
Of course, I have no idea what the yarn is called. I left the label home. It is 100% Alpaca. It was a little pricy at $7.95 per skein. I believe it only is approx 110 yards too, so you may need a couple to do anything substantial. Which is why I am going to get 2 more on Saturday! I am thinking the leafy scarf in the Spring/Summer Vogue Knitting. This is the most accurate picture of the colors too!
I also did a little felting over the weekend. I needed a quick knitting fix and feel like I accomplished something
Before felting
After felting
Oh and I don't know what the yarn was I think Aracuna (sp) chunky. This felted beautifully! I added the pom poms because I wanted to use up the yarn.
I promised my friend Cheryl that I would finish her Tammy sweater in 1 week. So next week at this time I should have a picture of a finished sweater! I need some encouragement! Will she do it?

I want to have luck like that. I need an AC Moore near my work, not a Michael's. They're crappy.

I wish we had AC Moore in Seattle. I keep hearing about it on blogs and I feel like I'm missing out! Your little felted goodness is extra cute with the pompoms. And I'm pretty sure you can finish your sweater in time. I have faith in you, sistah!

Who would have thought a chain store would have so much great stuff! I love the kool-aid yarn you gave me over the weekend.
