Today was a fun day. Our knitting group decided to go on a field trip to Fibers Etc. in Tacoma. I had never been there before and I had heard that they have yarn from floor to ceiling. Well... not only do they have yarn from floor to ceiling they have isle after isle and bin after bin of yarn and their button collection was AMAZING! I've never seen so many buttons in a yarn shop before. There definitely was something for everyone! It was so much fun seeing and feeling all the different yarns. My mind was rolling with all the projects I could make. Then what do I do? I pick out my usual favorite Merisoft by Punta Yarns instead of something new. I can't help myself, I just love this stuff. Also grabbed a couple of new needles and headed out the door. Even though this little shop has very odd hours I will definitely make a return trip.
On another note... tonight I didn't listen to my head telling me to "go to bed, your eyes are getting tired, put the needles down and just go to bed". I just had to keep on knitting and knitting and knitting until I took a break and realized that, crap, I was doing something wrong. I was so focused on finishing the hat I was test knitting for Lisa (www.lisaellisdesigns.com) that I didn't see that I had read the pattern wrong. Now I must pay the awful price that us knitters dread... rip, rip, rip! This is not going to be fun but I must bite the bullet and do it. I hate ripping out cables, I'm just hoping I don't end up having to rip back to the beginning. Wish me luck! I'm going to bed now...
