Yarn Porn

You know you want to see it?

Of course, you do.



Glorious!

14 DB Wool/Cotton
12 Lopi Lite

I told myself that all this stuff would be my Fall projects to justify the spending. What are my Fall projects? Well, I still have to come up with some ideas... But how can you walk away when Debbie Bliss yarn is 40% and 50%
off! The sale continues all week. Everything is on sale-- everything. Then there is deep discounts on tons of yarn. I like this LYS. It's not exactly convenient, so does that still make it a LYS? Anyway, they carry a wide selection which is great. I was really surprised at how much they carried. I remember going to last year's sale and was happy with the yarn I took home, but didn't think carried a lot the yarn I would knit with. I went away with a feeling that the store was a little old school. Now that I scoured the store from top to bottom I can say they carry an excellent selection of yarn. It looks like they know their audience is changing; they've sell hip knitting bags, the books selection has expanded, the color selection is good, and I believe they updated the store logo. Also, regular prices are good.

And now I am broke.

Another yummy summer salad. Your classic tossed green with blue cheese and pinuts sprinkled on top. Nothing makes salad better than blue cheese and pine nuts.
