I’ve been to Twisted Yarns in Old Town Spring before and had a chance to hit it again around New Year’s with J. I determined not to buy any yarn and was holding firm until they said all the yarn was 20% off. I’m not made of steel wool.

This is what I got. Fuchsia Ombre’ Fingering. I’m planning to try my first two at a time socks with it. I enjoy this LYS, so if you’re in the Houston area and have time for a trip to Spring, check it out!

I recently visited Gauge with my friend Sam. We were in the market to get her some dpns (double pointed needles) for her to knit socks. Yes, I’m infecting people around me.
Now, I’ve been admiring Dizzy Lettuce yarn for at least a year now and what do you know, we ran into Jennifer Miller! She’s the genius behind Dizzy Lettuce yarn! Yes, I discovered it was her when once again, I was chatting up a random lady in a yarn shop. If it keeps paying off, I’m going to keep doing it; she was super nice! She agreed to autograph the yarn I just HAD to buy (humor me) and pose for pictures. This one is my favorite.

One of my knitting friends noted that I seem to have turned into a real knitting groupie. But, here’s the yarn – see if you can resist the spell – the pink yarn has glittery silver thread in it for Pete’s sake! and look at the depth of color in the lichen! I had no choice but to take it home with me and be a huge fan!

Ps. It might seem like I suddenly started purchasing a lot of yarn, but I tell myself, it’s ok because after all, I didn’t buy any yarn in May, so surely the stash is at a fine level. right?
