There’s a Box of Yarn in the Closet
And I don’t remember what’s in it. But does that stop me from buying more? Of course not. Would it stop you?
I took a sick day today for a mid-day doctor’s appointment that had every possibility of being a very long one, but only it only swallowed two hours of my life—including a twelve-block walk for bloodwork—so I went shopping. I visited The Point on Bedford in the Village for the first time. There are some very nice yarns in there. I bought a few.
The green is Fleece Artist Kid / Silk 3 Ply in Moss. It’s so pretty, it will be a shame to untwist and wind it. The blue and the yellow are Manos Cotton Stria in two of my favorite hues. They’re labeled Navy and Saffron, but the blue as a hint of green to it.
I also picked up a set of Crystal Palace Bamboo #9’s (Am). These are smoother with a slightly sharper point than the hated Clovers.
This is my progress on the pattern from the last post. When viewed from the side the pattern is distinct, but from the front, it’s pretty much a blue rectangle.
Today’s Mystery: Just how many tissues did J forget to remove from the last load of laundry he did?

The scarf is *very* cool.
Are you saying you only have 1 box of yarn? Is it, like, a really big box?
I think there are some handpainted yarns that look better in the skein, and should be left on display for people to admire.
Only one box, huh?

Ooooh, the scarf’s cool! And I want to go yarn shopping, too….not that I need anything, but I just want some yarns!
BTW, in Germany we have these tissue that’s washing machine fest, i.e. if you forget to take it out of the pocket, it won’t get shredded into pieces and spread it around the clothe. Great thing it is as HeWhoMustNotBeNamed always forget to take his tissues out of the pocket and I don’t always check (I’m the one doing laundry around here).

I just have one box of yarn…my apartment!
And, no, my pockets don’t always get checked either…sigh. But I have to give kudo’s to Ron for doing all the laundry.

[...] I did try to get some knitting in, but couldn’t come up with anything I liked. I knit five or six different patterns, frogging them all as doing nothing for the Fleece Artist kid mohair/silk I have. It’s a beautifull yarn. Frustrating. I came back to Brooklyn with nothing more than frogged yarn. [...]
