Last Hurrah

Posted on | April 29, 2009 | 5 Comments

Went down to The Point yesterday for a last hurrah. So sad to see one more yarn store close in NYC, we’ve lost 4 of them in the last 3 months or so.

I didn’t want to spend too much and was a knitter on a mission – to find the Claudette Hat pattern. It was a house pattern, and while there was the chance that the designer might offer it up on her own later on, I didn’t want to take that chance. And I found it, all the way at the bottom of the bin. It could very well have been the last copy even. Score!

The line was long, so of course I couldn’t just wait in such a long line to buy one measly pattern, right? So I picked up some circular needles. Not very exciting, I know. But I needed some size 3 circulars to make Little Birds when I get the chance. I have been planning on knitting this for awhile, but I had the chance to try on Ysolda’s sweater when she was here and I need to make it now. Right now. But it’s gonna have to wait until I finish this deadline project. If you go to Ysolda’s blog and scroll down a little, you’ll see me modeling it. Cute, huh? I’ll need to do a few modifications on the bottom rib, but other than that, it fit perfect!
