good girl

i didn't bring home anything from my jaunt to la knitterie parisienne. they have so much yarn there, it's just incredible. i just wish they had a larger space to put it all. i hate having to squeeze against the wall whenever someone needs to pass. they have some heavenly colinette point 5 in stock, but i resisted. i need to go to the uk where colinette is cheap. so i didn't buy anything there but i have to confess that i placed and order at jimmy beans wool today. after seeing the lovely r2 tasty at seeds of reverie, i decided to take the r2 plunge. there have been so many mixed reviews on r2 and i found the patterns somewhat confusing. however, the lovely example prompted me to get some r2 paper yarn. it's one sale for anyone else who wants to give it a whirl. i bought some in blue for tasty and pink for a tank top and threw in a few skeins of lana d'oro tweed in aubergine for the vest in the new rowan 36.

and killer shrimp was delish. if you're in studio city or marina del rey, you have to try it. it's addicting.

  1. Ooo... can't wait to see how your r2 turns out. It's an intriguing yarn and I loved reverie's version too. BTW, thanks so much for taking the trouble to purchase the Rebecca mag for me. Will let you know when it gets here :o) Your blog is looking terrific! As for that silly ad, the top bar is on mine too and embedded somewhere in the coding. But it's not as intrusive as their previous ad so I don't mind it :o)
