Heaven: AKA A Local Yarn Store

Living in a town that has Wal-Mart the only place to buy yarn, I have had to go 30 minutes away to find anything as exotic as plain wool. Hobby Lobby and Joann's are nice, but rarely have the needles in size or brand I want not to mention the yarn selection is still mainly "acrylic". So imagine my extreme happiness when I saw on Facebook that the quilting store in town had put in a yarn section. I was expecting yarn, sure but I was not expecting the high end beautiful yarn I saw in the window, or the baskets upon baskets that contained yarn!! Or the corner holding Knit Picks needles of every size plus all kinds of knitting accessories! Not a Boye needle in the store! (yes, I'm a snob, the cables on the circulars are too thick and inflexible, the needles over priced for such bad quality). Put simply I was in heaven! There was a nice little sitting area for Amber to sit and drink her coffee while I browsed through the heaps of mohair, alpaca, silk and wool. I finally picked up some Baby Alpaca Brush from Plymouth Yarn in a wonderful pumpkin color for a pair of fingerless gloves for Amber and two #1 16" circulars for socks. I opened them up a moment ago and am in love!! Such wonderful needles. The yarn ranged in price and there was some high priced and some not so bad and some left me with my mouth open that the prices were so good! I am one happy camper! Oh yes and there is a weekly sit and knit starting Tuesdays at 5:30! Happy happy!
So I'm off to nap after dancing today at a workshop and then work on a few projects. Piggy blanket is coming along, leg warmers are languishing, but look to be wonderful once they're done, poor earth maiden shawl is patiently waiting for attention. But I finished a project on time getting Mum's shawl done in time for her birthday. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to give it to her! But it's done! Haha. Well off for a nap. I'll try to take some pictures soon. Oh yes, and Honey arrived! Cutest piggy ever! I love being a piggy mummy!
