Well Little Man has requested a mini afghan for his toys too. I've been recruited to crochet it for him. I have to secretly admit I can't stand the yarn. Over the years I have become a yarn snob and am barely making it through working with this polyester. Yuck!! I miss our CA knitting shop. So much beautiful yarn. I guess I could give the local lady another chance. I miss fondling and buying expensive yarns.
Nope, you are right about our LYS. Selection is so limited. I'm sure that's why I shop via ebay and the internet, and also when Jeff presents at out-of-state conferences.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's time to travel.....I'm looking for some new yarn inspiration. I really enjoy touching and feeling my yarn before I buy it. I could try internet with my favorite brands and do some restocking.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the touching! If the yarn is "new" or unfamiliar, it's more fun to feel it and do the fray test.
