Atlanta Shopping

There was self-control. There is yarn. There are pictures. But there is no USB cord to share those pictures with you. Sadness.

I walked into Needle Nook in Atlanta. Dude. I have never seen so much yarn in my life! We walked in at closing time. I had FIVE MINUTES to run around the store to see everything, and to make my choices. There was no way I was leaving the store without something. Even though I was in a hurry I still didn't want to make any impulse buys. I figured I could either get some sock yarn, something for a shawl or for Christmas presents.

The Kiddy Print in Pea by Laines Du Nord caught my eye. I have wanted to knit the Birch Shawl since I saw it on the Harlot's blog. True it's slightly thinner than Kid Silk, but I might try it on smaller needles... now I just need to get the pattern...

There may be another stop there later in the week being that the conference takes all day! I left the hotel at 7 a.m. this morning and I didn't get back until 8 p.m. this evening... Long, long, long, day. And a long day means that there is a needed pick me up.

Oh soft yarn,
Oh bright colors,
How I love thee!

(P.S.) I've added some new projects as well as my only UFO (the Garter Stitch Scarf) that I've brought with me to Atlanta to keep me busy.
