Some time ago I looked around for a yarn shop and couldn’t find one all that conveniently located for my area. The only one I did find was disappointingly unfriendly. \ud83d\ude41 However, last week I had a very happy surprise when the local newspaper wrote an article profiling a yarn shop<\/a> I hadn’t known about and that was reasonably close to home! Yay!<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I zipped over there as soon as I could, and \u2014 no surprise! \u2014 eventually came home with a new pattern and some yarn to make it. The owner there is very nice and welcoming, and there’s some very yummy yarn in the shop, with the promise of more to come.<\/p>\n

I’ve been knitting my new cardigan since then (I was getting sort of bored with dishcloths, anyway ), and I’ve now finished two repeats of the lacy edging on the bottom of the piece. We’ll see how the rest of it goes. \ud83d\ude09  The edging will, of course, look nicer after it’s blocked. The pattern<\/a> I’m using is from a British company, and I think it will be very versatile.<\/g><\/p>\n
