<\/a> People who don’t knit don’t understand why we need fancy bags for all of our projects, but it makes it so easy to find things. I know that my pi shawl WIP is in the red bag with white sheep, for instance. Saves distress over losing a project (this is IMPORTANT, people!)<\/p>\nI had severe bag envy over a student who had SSS bags with Firefly sayings all over it.\u00a0 I am going to be teaching a Craftsy<\/a> class, and for the class I have been working with Lion Brand<\/a> yarn, and quite enjoying it. So I stopped at the Lion Brand booth and picked up some sock yarn and some stainless steel, to knit this cute vest from Knitters #112.\u00a0 Then I got home and couldn’t find my magazine ( I know it is here somewhere.\u00a0 My library is getting out of control) so I bought a copy from Zinio and printed it out.\u00a0 Crisis averted.\u00a0 Amy, at Canon Hand Dyes<\/a>, had a Downtown Abbey colorway kit with my name on it.\u00a0 Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it.\u00a0 This has Annetarsia possibilities all over it, and I had to have it.\u00a0 Every color is named for a character from the series. Amy wandered over with me to the Plucky Knitter<\/a> booth, and we checked out the small bin of yarn marked down.\u00a0 Amy, who is obviously a Yarn Whisperer, reached in and said, this is a skein of Bella.\u00a0 Bella has cashmere in it and NEVER goes on sale.\u00a0 There were actually 2 of them, and Amy (remember that she is a master hand dyer) felt she could live without it, and let me nab them.\u00a0 Of course, I can’t stay with a single color, so found another skein to go with it, for full price.\u00a0 Still, what a deal!\u00a0 happy dance. Students told me about the little bags at Knitters Brewing Company<\/a> with the pouches on the side, for yarn.\u00a0 They were a steal at $5.\u00a0 I went to get one, and saw the kits for Drinking mitts, and got that kit, too. Such yarny goodness, and it is such a kick to trade stories with the students about market adventures.\u00a0 It is so huge that you really can’t take it all in, so sharing the experiences of other knitters is really one of my favorite things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I teach an all-day class, there is a long lunch break so that we can eat in a leisurely manner….ha!\u00a0 Just kidding.\u00a0 We all go to the market and shop.\u00a0 When class starts again, one of my favorite things is to see what people bought over lunch.

She has a club, in case you are interested, and I bought my daughter a Dr. Who set of bags for Christmas last year.\u00a0 Laura really knows what makes us happy.\u00a0 Yep, she is all about customer service.\u00a0 (Note to Laura, design Firefly fabric)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a> Not that I will be casting it on, anytime soon, but I like to keep patterns and yarn together, to be prepared.\u00a0 It’s going to be fun to knit, I think.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
