Yarn.......
I love the stuff. Seems lately I can't get enough of it. So when I find out there is a yarn store in my town that I have never been to before I get a little excited. Oh you know, sweaty palms, can't talk straight, giddy. Yes that is the word. I was giddy. What is the name of this yarn store???
I think I may have a new favorite! They have everything that my other store doesn't! They have Noro, Debbie Bliss, Mountain Colors, Mano's, I am sure I missed something... and my new favorite: Louisa Harding! Look at what I got
Isn't it pretty? It is Kimono Angora. 70% Angora,25% Wool, 5% Nylon. 124 yards! YUM! I got 2 balls of it. I wanted to make this:
but it just wasn't happening for me. It has been frogged and something new has been started. I will have if finished soon though. Patience....... This also called for me:
Yep. More sock yarn. This is none other than Schaefer Sock Yarn – Anne. I don't know what color. But who cares! It is gorgeous!
I am a very happy girl. Now if they only carried Koigu.......

Mmm, angora. I loooove working with it, but it's too warm for me to wear most of the time. That skein of Anne looks positively beautiful. I love the colors!

Sure, I move away and they finally get a good yarn store. Well, next time I'm up, we'll have to go check it out.
