Knitting Zen

I had fun yesterday.

I called the yarn shop, because it's about 45 minutes away, and I didn't want to make the drive if they didn't have the Mosaico in the color I needed. The clerk said she would have to call me back, because they were swamped! This was about 20 minutes after they opened.

She eventually (about a half hour later) called me back, said they did have it, and apologized for taking so long to call me back, but that they were really busy. So I drove out, and got the Mosaico to finish the scarf, plus two balls of another color (kind of a dark red and green mix). They had one ball of a dark red Chinchilla that I've been looking for, but only one; I got it anyway, plus a hank of Glacé in the same color and a ball of Charm. I'll play around with it and decide whether to make a scarf with those three things, or just wait and get another ball of the red Chinchilla later.

And one impulse purchase--a huge skein (that they wound into a ball for me) of a cream colored cotton/rayon yarn--very light, kind of slubby. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it seemed like too good a deal to pass up--480 yards for $11.50--and it's really beautiful.

So even though it was about 4 degrees out yesterday, I've got my yarn to keep me warm . . .
