So I ended back at the LYS (local yarn shop) because I needed another set of needles to be able to work on the wrist warmer once I get past the cuff area. You have to work the pattern back and forth instead of in the round so that you can make the thumb area. Well, when I first read the pattern I thought that I would be able to get by with out the second set, but obviously I didn't have a clue about what I was "doing". So after really thinking about what would have to be done, I made a trip to the LYS for the second set of needles. So I will be able to continue on with the wrist warmers. I know you were worried there for a second. ;) While I was there, I could not pass up the 40% off sale on a couple of yarns. The one below is Araucania Pomaire, which is a 100% pima cotton (color 15/lilac combo). It will become a nice gift for someone I know. It has a lot of gray, earth tones and a little "purple" color in it. When you see it up close it is a good color for guys. Really! All of their yarns are gorgeous! The colors are awesome! I see some felted slippers for myself made with the wool yarn in the near future.
Then the other is Four Seasons from Classic Elite Yarns (color 7602/yellow daisy). This will also become a gift for someone. This is such a pretty, cheery little color, do you think?!
So now it time for the wee ones to get to bed so that I can continue to work on the wrist warmers. I'm working with a deadline you know. I just don't know when the deadline is suppose to be. Just soon! haha! :) I also found my recipe with all my changes for the sausage potato chowder. I will post that tomorrow! I'll have a short time of "quiet" in the house until the boys get back from The Steelheads hockey game they went too. TaTa For Now!
