Favorite Yarn Place

I'm a big fan of Kim's yarn. On the rare occasion these days that I do make a yarn purchase (read that as thumb that does not work) I generally head over to The Woolen Rabbit. I've also joined the yarn club and the first installment was a skein of Pandora sock. I've knit a few pair of socks in my day and find some yarns aren't everything you'd hoped for. In the early days it seemed Koiju was all the rage. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. From the moment the socks came off the needles it felt as though the yarn was deteriorating. Socks knit with Sunshine Yarns, unbeatable. Cherry Tree Hill - another goody. And so, I'm happy to report, with no surprise, that this Pandora sock is like butter. 70% merino, 20% bamboo and 10% nylon. A pure and simple pleasure. I went with the trusty old Jaywalker pattern for mindless knitting and couldn't help but think this morning how good this felt in my hand. I also thought, crap, I have to go to work and I'd much rather sit here with Robin Roberts and that cute news guy Josh but that's a different story. So, if you're inclined to buy yourself or someone else you love some yarn this weekend go on over and check things out!

Enjoy your weekend! (Apologies to Sunshine and Cherry Tree Hill - linking won't work!)
