My sweater

   I have started the ribbing at the bottom of my Flax sweater today.  I measured it with a sweater that I wear a lot and like the length so I know I will like the length that it will be when the ribbing is finished.  One to the sleeves next.  May have to put it on hold when I am on my road trip because I am also working on Christmas gifts, one down, one about half way finished and a lot more to go.  Glad I started now, maybe I will have them all finished by Christmas.

        Had fun on the LYS crawl.  Made it to all 26 yarn shops.  I will post pictures of my purchases soon.  I did not spend at every shop but I did spend more than I probably should have.  In my defense I purchased some of the yarns to make Christmas gifts for family.  I am going to be very busy between now and Christmas, that's all I have to say.  That's not really a bad thing for someone that has to have 3-5 projects going at a time.  Should be interesting at least.

PNW Yarn Crawl

   Finished the PNW yarn crawl today and then backtracked to Rainy Day Yarns because on Thursday I won the daily drawing.  I was so excited because I rarely win any of those type of things.  Today I had a good time with one of my sisters and a friend of hers as we drove to Amanda's Yarn Shop in Polsbo, Allyn Knit and Fiber shop in Allyn and Fancy Image in Shelton.  The two that were with me are not knitters or crocheters but it was nice to have them along and they seemed to enjoy it also.

   Now to figure out what to make with the yarn I got with the gift certificate that was for $35.00.
