drive-by yarn

Friday, October 15, 2004

My LYS offers a drive by service! No, not really; but they were very obliging this afternoon when I went to pick up my yarn with two kids in the car and an afternoon clearway in effect for the street they are on (ie no parking). They had already put four balls of Jo Sharp DK Tweed in Boheme aside for me earlier in the day, so when I called to check the price and explain that I would need to run in and out they laughed and were very friendly about the whole thing. So friendly in fact that when I got there they were standing out front, yarn in hand. I handed over the cash and went on my way without ever having left the car or held up the traffic.

Of course now I am thinking I might need just one more ball…. I am thinking that this yarn would make a lovely vest for me. I like vests a lot. Is seven balls of DK enough for a ladies vest (135m/145yds per ball)? I have a 36 inch bust if that helps.I am torn…

Your daughter is very cute. I love the photo of her at the beach. The red sweater looks like it is coming along nicely. I am working on a similarly shaped sweater for my husband — although it is considerably bigger. The method of seaming and binding off at the same time (3-needle bind-off) is one of my favorites. I despise sewing. Happy knitting!

A project for my husband is conspicuously missing from my knitting plans at the moment because he is SO large… 2m tall and arms to match. I would probably need as much yarn for his arm as for a whole sweater for Isabelle :-)
