Some international yarn hunting

So I am currently in New York, so naturally have to check out some local yarn stores to play with some American yarn...

So far have been to Purl Soho and scored these:

Spud and Chloe Fine Sock in Calypso (which is more aqua than this pic)



Madelinetosh Tosh Merino light in Pop Rocks (awesome deep pink)



And Knitty City where I added these beauties

Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in Bronzed Lake



And more Madelinetosh...this time the Pashmina in Ink (darker and more indigo than it looks here)



I think most of these are going to end up as shawls for me. I could do some serious damage to my credit card here but it all has to fit in the suitcase plus I have many beautiful yarns waiting for me at home too. Plus I want to have a little bit of money to spend at Bendigo!

Don't spend all your money in NY - I need a spending partner in Bendigo!!!!!

I'm doing my best not to...not sure I'm succeeding though ; )

About me

I write. And when I'm not doing that or the day job, I'm often playing with fabric, needles, yarn and inevitably saying "d'oh" a lot.
