More Yarn, More Knitting
Saturday, I finally got my Tencel yarn for the shawl I'm going to knit. I though I had ordered yarn that would match my new quilt set, but I was wrong. However, I am very happy with the yarn, and the shawl will end up in the living room, so it all works out. I also recieved my 5 skiens of alpaca/wool blend. It's so wonderful, and will make great socks. I'm trying to come up with a good Celtic pattern for it, and see if I can wing writing my own sock pattern. We'll see how that goes.
Speaking of socks...
I know I said I was going to work on the lace scarf for a while before starting these, but I've worked on it some. A fight with my mother has also put the scarf on hiatus, as it upsets me too much to look at it right now.
In other knitting news, a yarn shop/coffee house just opened up in St. Matthews! It's so cute and called The Close-Knit Cafe. I happened to go by it on thier second day while driving to Afterthoughts in search of beads for yet another knit project. I have a feeling I'll be frequenting there! Hopefully, there will be a knit group starting soon so I can make a few more knitting friends. It's hard to attend a knitting circle with my schedule.
