You know, my feet are still tired. I feel like I pulled a muscle in the left one. It didn’t keep me from taking my dog for a walk. It was so beautiful on the river this morning. I sat on the pier for while, then found a place where Gus could wade and get a drink. I love living here. Now, if I just had a bathtub like the one at the other house, life would be perfect.
OK. I guess you want to see what I bought. Some venders have moved, but, since I would be looking at everything anyway, I did eventually find the ones that I wanted. It was promising to be a very warm, sunny day so I did the outside booths first. The Tess booth was packed with yarn and people. I didn’t see the color and type of yarn I wanted so I got out as quickly as I could. I found what I was looking for at Creatively Dyed Yarns. What delicious yarn! It was all I could do to keep focused.
The top I bought on Sunday. I’ll discuss that later. Look at the bottom skein. I love the shading and little flecks of color. it was a little more expensive than I like, but the label said 5.3 oz. and when weighed, it was 6.5 oz–enough for socks AND gloves.
I’ve been wanting to make Coraline gloves. I found a pattern, but they were worsted weight and I wanted lighter. I finally found a picture of the actual gloves from the movie which is all I really need. I found this yarn in the first barn and it was cheap, too. The company is called Made By Ewe and they are on Etsy. The yarn is DK and I wanted fingering, but I bought it anyway. Like I said, it was cheap and it has a nice feel.
Before I forget— Hey, Betty. I found your needles.
Next thing on my list was a chocolate waffle ice cream cone. They are really good here. While waiting in line, someone I haven’t seen in about 10 years came up tp me. We got our cones and found a place to sit. We talked for nearly an hour.
