In June my knitting group took a trip to The Fold. I had heard tales of how wonderful this store was, but it was even better than I imagined. There was so much beautiful yarn! I’m trying to keep my stash small, so I told myself that I would only buy one skein of STR. It was very hard to choose and everyone else was buying multiple skeins, but I decided on a lovely skein of Jade. I did give in and buy a second skein of yarn, but it was 50% off so it doesn’t really count, right?

I haven’t learned to crochet yet, but I had to buy the summer issue of Interweave Crochet too. Why? One of my knitting friends from Texas, Sheryl, has a pattern in the issue! It is a Tunisian crochet scarf, La Mer. I added it to my queue!
