KNITSTER

I’m still dawdling my way back to knitting, having made a couple more feet progress on the scarf I started over a year ago. My left wrist is acting up so I’m back to doing a lot of the physical therapy type stuff just on my own. I did lose 20 pounds, so that’s helping. But anyway, yesterday, on my way home I stopped off at the Centreville library, just off I-66 in Northern Virginia, and saw signs for a new store called “With Yarn in Front.” This is awesome! I haven’t ever had a LYS that was so convenient for me, and the fact that it’s not even out of my way (I stop by that library all the time) means I have access to good yarns without it being an event! I know, I know, I could order things online, but while i know better than to impulse buy yarn for anything other than simple projects, it’s nice to be able to put your hands on a yarn and say “I like” before making the commitment.

In the meantime, summer is here and I’m doing a lot of gardening-oriented activity, which does a lot to stretch those muscles on my icky skeletal bits.
