The Fold!

Wade graduated with his master’s in May and is working full time as an actuary. We moved out of our place in Iowa, went to Texas and picked up the things we had left behind, and now we live in Schaumburg. I may not have a permanent job yet, but I wasted no time finding a new knitting group!

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?

Loot from The Fold

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!
