I drove back to my old house for a few days to visit friends and relatives and go to the market at Stitches. My son is staying there to finish college. I took the subway downtown on Saturday morning and met some friends at noon. I had a great time wandering around and looking at everything. I looked at an awful lot of books, but none of them said “Buy Me”. I have so many anyway. Next on my list were needles. I love to make gloves and I can go through zeroes and ones. I either lose them, they get eaten by the dog or cat, or I break them. I also wanted double and triple zeroes to make Scottish Sanguhar gloves. I found all the needles I needed so I started looking at yarn. My first purchase had to be something soft that matched the gloves I made another friend. Out of that whole market, I only found one small skein in like colors. The colors were turquoise, pink and purple. I expected to see more. I just what to say thank you to Ellen’s 1/2 Pint Farm. I’ll post a picture when I finish the scarf. here are the gloves. 
It is Lorna’s Laces that I have had for a few years so I guess the colorway is no longer “in”. But, it’s my girlfriend’s favorite colors and that’s what really matters. I only bought two other skeins of yarn: 100% silk sock yarn from HPKYsales and 100% merino wool from Seacoast Handpainted Yarns. The latter was a happy colorway that I could not resist. As a matter of fact, it was called “Joyful”.
I saw so many beautiful things. I got some great ideas. I actually took notes. I saw several kits that I wanted to buy, but I already have a roomful. It’s my own little store. I have two things in mind that I definitely will be making and I know that I can find just what I want in my little yarn room.
