FO sighting
Yesterday I went through several bins, and managed to find the purple capri sweats I was looking for, as well as The Gambler's red Bass shirt (in a bin that had made it into the rec room downstairs), butI was unable to find my darning needles. So I walked to (the websiteless) Passionknit, which is my new LYS. Emphasis on the L, because it took all of about 5 minutes to get there - according to Google Maps, it's 300 metres from my house. They had just gotten a shipment of new fall stock, including several new Rowan Yarns - like Kidsilk Aura and Cocoon - this shop might be my downfall! I managed to bypass the new yarns and get my needles, and last night I seamed up the 5 Ring Circus Cardigan: Stats: Pattern: Bamboozle Baby Striped Jacket Yarn: Crystal Palace Bamboozle - .9 skein carib blue, 2.1 skein circus Needles: US8 Options Cast on: July 25 Cast off: August 7 Completed: August 8 I still have leftovers, so I will probably knit up a matching cap. Possibly booties as well. I am very new to baby knitting, so I don't have a good feel for yarn requirements yet. Labels: baby gifts, FO |

Very cute!!
Oh, very nice. I love the colours. I haven't been to Passionknit quite yet, but it is on my list: http://tinyurl.com/2pnehl
Oh that sweater is adorable!
Good luck with the truly local yarn shop. There are two in my neighborhood that are less than 4 blocks away ...
Very cute sweater! Baby stuff is so much fun to do; it goes fast and doesn't take much yarn.
Gotta love having a LYS within walking distance! (I do) ;)
super cute! i would need blinders living so close to a YS. eep!
What an adorable little sweater! Thanks for linking to the pattern. It will come in handy.
Love the colors. And I am so jealous about your having a LYS just down the street. My Dallas one is 1.6 mi from the office; my favorite FW one is 17.4 mi from the house.
So sweet!
I've got one of those LYSs near me too--it takes longer to find a parking spot than it does to drive there. Very dangerous.
LOVE that sweater! Thanks for the link. Top-down---who can go wrong???
Definitely a LOCAL yarn shop! Must be nice....However, I have no willpower. So it's probably just as well that mine isn't quite as close....
Now that's just adorable.
Very very cute sweater!!
I'm so jealous of a LYS in walking distance. That's even better than Coffee Shop in walking distance.
Hmm. I have a Walmart in walking distance. Can't quite compare.
