Shopping Fun!


I finally got to head to A Grand Yarn and use the gift certificate Katie gave me for my birthday (thanks KT!) Nothing more fun than buying yarn on someone else's dime ;-)

I had a hard time selecting something, there were so many lovely yarns, bags, books and more in the store. I did find some cute buttons for my Kauni cardigan (which I hope to finish TODAY), and at $3.25 each, they had better be perfect! I also got a skein of "Socks That Rock" yarn in Sherbet. Very colorful (think more along the lines of the colors Barbie would wear) and should make a fun pair of socks. Assuming I ever get around to knitting the socks; I have this habit of buying and loving the sock yarn but never managing to actually knit the socks.

Katie headed to Seattle for her next nursing assignment, and we all miss her!

I may be taking a trip to Seattle myself next week; I am talking to someone today who is looking for a sample knitter, so if that pans out, I will be going over to meet and pick up yarn/patterns.

I'll let you know asap. Didn't get ahold of the guy today so will call him tomorrow

Katie said...

yay i hope you come! (And Mimi does too of course.) Kate the Cat was delivered to Zaide's house last night, Miss Madeline loved her (kind of) - so I guess she's up for grabs for whichever baby is there! :)

Zaide can be in charge of Kate the Cwazy Cat, she may be too frightening to go home with a baby.

Did you just write "yarn shopping" and "fun" in the same sentence? A Nordy's GC fun to spend...yarn GC from Kate, I'd think she didn't like me:).

Sue said...

oh megs - you have SO much to learn . . .

Laurie said...

that's bc YOU don't have to shop in the Nordy's FAT LADY dept, right next to the petites and loaded with muumuus.
