On a cold blustery Saturday, it's lovely to think of how we spend Saturday mornings in the summer.

But it was too cold to even take our winter walk around the square (I have to get Kady some snow boots). So we went to the Knitting Tree this morning to visit Jackie, the proprietress, and Jack, her son, 7. Kady went immediately to a basket of angora yarn and buried her face in it. Kady made friends with some of the shoppers and got some good belly rubs. Jack had fun dropping Lego "bombs" on Kady. I showed my qiviut gloves to Jackie (don't have any pictures yet--they are all fingers so far) and chose a skein of Koigu to pair with the orphan glove. Photos to come. I succumbed to the Koigu and got two skeins of a cornflower blue colorway and two more skeins that match singletons I have in my stash.

What am I thinking?? I have more yarn that I can knit in my lifetime. I justified the purchase with the ole "supporting a friend and the local economy" ploy. It's quite effective.
