Knitting On Toothpicks

My Mom and Sister arrived last night. So on a yarn crawl we went.

Since the Yarn Barn is only one of two yarn shops (the other one I couldn't remember the exact address and my mother forgot how to get around S.A. in the two short years she's been away.. I twas a short sort of yarn crawl. Before Yarn Barn we did go to Hobby Lobby for some funky yarn fo r my mom to make ever more silly scarves. I got a few things--not too much I was saving up.

Finally at the Yarn Barn--I got my self some over priced tooth picks. Size 0 five inch DPNs birch from Brittany. I needed shorter DPNs for my socks--and I totally understand the price--J. still needs some convincing. But I am nervous knitting with this tooth picks--thankfully Brittany has a replacement policy. At one point I had an arm full of yarn (sigh I wish they had more lace weight and cashmere--I was spoil myself with some cashmere. But I was a good girl and I just bought two balls of Rowan Tapestry (pictures tomorrow when the light is better). I plan one some sort of lace scarf--something organic. The color way is beautiful--purplish, rustyish, goldish (slightly).

My sock--which is still not quite finished--I've ripped a few rows back--I decided to use all the ball of Lorna's Laces--even IF it means that the sock goes up to my knee. So I am back to working on the lace instead of the ribbing for the cuff.

At Hobby Lobby I couldn't resist a sale and so I bought some funky yarn for a Pygmy Puff (a teeny tribble like creature for the Muggles)...it's going to be cute. I started a bit--but goodness I am so tired and I don't know why I am not asleep right now.

Oh for those that enjoy my kid anecdotes: Micci will eat grass--but he WON'T he 95% of the food I make for him. Sigh.
