Sadly, one of the larger locally owned yarn shops closed their doors mid June. I made it to the last day, merely hours before the shop closed. It did look like a grocery store before a major snow storm, lots of bare shelves. I still managed to find two yarns I loved, in colors I loved, and even more importantly in enough quantity I can knit sweaters. Although I have no specific patterns in mind, I'd love to pick one up right now and knit it. Both yarns are very soft and squishy. A very tentative plan is a sweater for hubby and for me.
For hubby, I picked a washable worsted merino.
The bittersweet color is a question mark for him, but I love the color and may use it for something for myself. The brand is Plymouth Select.
The yarn I picked for me is a combination of the Plymouth Select and Berrocco Vintage.
I also bought three circular needles, the Karbonz because everyone raves about them, and I don't have any yet. True also of the HiyaHiya.
Finally a book that has been around forever but that I wanted for the charts.
