There is nothing more pleasing to me than visiting a yarn store and that is what I did the other day. You see I was on the hunt for buttons for my current project AND I promised to bring my Spring Fever and my Shades of Grey for Karen to photograph. I grabbed Tracey and hit the road.
This wrap has to be in my top 10 all time favorites, without a doubt. I am really proud to say “I made it!” when asked where did I get the wrap. I love Karin’s colors too!! If you haven’t tried it yet it is a wonderful project that generates a versatile piece that can be worn year round. The pattern can be found here.
I am so sure I have blogged about Do Ewe Knit? in the past. So you all know that she has the best stuff. I only went in to get buttons Jesus..BUTTONS!! But these bags were just yelling my name. I couldn’t leave them there, I mean could you? Would you?
I
I can see you all virtually nodding your heads yes!! LOL! The drinking club one cracks me up every time. So I had a birthday gift card that was begging to be used AND there was a sale Woot Woot. You all have seen the bag already because I had to post it, but here you go…
Knitting is TRULY the new black, don’t you agree? So the buttons…I grabbed some apples because the romper is for a little girl and of course I had to fondle some yarn. LOL! I will share the project once it is complete, but here are the buttons I was working with
that is not the true color, but dontcha love the apples? I should be finished soon, this pattern is giving me a run for my money, it’s not the best instructions I have ever had to deal with, but I am getting through it! As soon as I am done I will post before I ship it off to it’s new home.
Here are some of the pics I took while in the store..
When was the last time you went to a yarn store?

I need to travel to the northern part of NJ to visit Do Ewe Knit? Yarn shop. I hope there is a train that has a stop in Westfield. I love the yarn that are on Facebook and it seems the experience would be fun! I love visiting yarn shops when I travel to different parts of this country. Love your blog!
if you do that please let me know, I will absolutely meet you there! Check her page she has some events coming up, that may be a good time. Thanks for reading!
Gaye, through your posts you really do make me feel like I am right there in the store with you! Between the gorgeous pics of yarn and the joy you express through your words, somebody somewhere needs to make you the spokesperson for their yarn store, yarn or patterns. I swear you make me want to grab my knitting needles and try again, but I’ll just stick with my crochet hook for now 😉
Love the bags, need to get something to hold my yarn & hooks while I’m working with them other than an old plastic shopping bag LOL.
LOL! Yes you need something other than a plastic bag my friend.
Thank you Nae for always supporting me, you will never know how much that means to me. Love you!
That’s what friends are for my dear Gaye! Hey I always have a Walmart bag available but it’s time to step it up 😉 Love you!!!
love to see the pics you took in yarn store. Thanks for sharing
