Local Yarn Shop!!

This week I picked up the most wonderful yarn from a new yarn shop close to my work.

They don’t sell online yet, but check out their site  www.fourpurls.com.  It was heaven walking in there.  IT IS A REAL YARN SHOP.  OK – I will go more into it on the podcast, but this weekend I had a terrible experience as the “so-called” yarn shop near my house.  It was such a joke.  Then I went to Four Purls.  The owner is Laura and she was WONDERFUL.  She helped me pick out the perfect yarn for my Yoga Wrap project, looked up the notes in Ravelry, figured out how much yarn I would need, held the hanks (is that what they are called) that I couldn’t afford to purchase right away, made needle size suggestions, and taught me how to adjust the pattern to fit the yarn I wanted to use.  Everyone should have a “Laura” in their life.

I am heading back there tomorrow because I found out that I have every size needle imaginable except the one size I need for this project.  But I don’t mind, being in her shop was such a joy.

Sorry there was not a podcast this week.  The sound went out on my computer and by the time I figured out what went wrong, it was too late to record.  I will be back next week, but probably on Saturday.  I have to Chaperone a Girl Scout event on Sunday.

Don’t forget to call me and leave a voicemail.  This will enter you into a drawing for a “Purple Thang”!

On my to-do list:

• Adding a page on how to start a podcast
• Post on the pot holders I made and sort of designed
• Adding a page with all the podcasts

I promise I will get to these things.  But I know I will be knitting the next few days.  Too excited to start a new project.
