I havent even finished the art yarns silk top I’m working on, but I absolutely love knitting with it. So when Black Sheep Knitting announced an art yarns trunk show I wasnt going to miss it.
This was to be a perfect day. Dee from my Stitch and Bitch decided she’d come along to check out my favorite LYS. We met up with my friend Rose for one of my favorite pre yarn shopping activity – sushi. Fantastic company and an excellent lunch…ready to go.
Walking into a table full of all these lush colors of silk and the sparkles of the beaded silks was a real treat. Oooo all the shiney things! I could see all sorts of ways to use this as an accent, or maybe I would change my ways and make a summer scarf. All I can say is what fun!
I also fell in love with this rowan all seasons cotton – the color just called to me from the other side of the store. It told me it needs to be this summer shell that I’ve been wanting to make again for a while.
Now let me pause and take a minute to congratulate Dee for showing restraint. Truly impressive and I should take a lesson from it, although I fail to see the fun in restraint where yarn is concerned! So I made quite the haul and added to my stash, which of course was in serious need of additions (you are hearing the obvious sarcasm yes?). But there is nothing like the feeling of laying out your new purchases, each one with so much possibility.
It was a pretty perfect day!
