So I should be on a yarn diet but, that isn't' working out so go for me! LOL!
First our Cleveland knits West group took a field trip to Miss Chickpeas Funky fibers for their Superbowl sale. It is such a cute little shop! I was only looking for some pagewood farms sock yarn, and I got 2 skeins of that as well as some other goodies like some Arucania Ranco sock yarn, and some Classic Elite Waterlily for a sweater (I'm thinking another Ingenue from Custom knits)
Then I was in Columbus for 3 days for a conference for work and well I can't be in Columbus and not got to Knitters Mercantile! It is one of my favorite shops! I love it there. It's probably good that it's not closer! I'd have NO money ever!! My goal there was to go to get some Tuscan Grove sock yarn..so I got that as well as a skein of Misti Alpaca sock yarn in colors I couldn't pass up. Then I spotted some Queensland Rustic Wool (which is super-wash yay) in a lovely burgundy that I bought 11 skeins of for some random sweater. (I loved the purple but they only had 3 skeins left so wouldn't you know I found some on Ravelry for sale and bought that too
) Plus I found some buttons for my Feb lady sweater (but I found a huge mistake in that last night and now I have to rip out almost the whole thing so that's a VERY sore topic right now!)
Then I decided to check out a new shop in Columbus called WonderKnit. It's a really cute little shop. The owner it trying to carry yarns you can't find elsewhere in Columbus. She had some very lovely yarns I hadn't seen anywhere else..so there I picked up a skein of Farmhouse yarns in a cool variegated colors that will become a cowl of some sort and 2 skeins of Art yarns Supermerino4 for a pair of socks.
So here's the gratutious photo of the dogs:
They are so helpful with my kniting aren't they? OK off to enjoy the rest of my day off!!
Ok so I'm on a yarn high! So many beautiful yarns I can't breath and how cute is that shop!
It was nice of the puppies to give you a little room. They are both so beautiful.

Good afternoon
I know I know, I live in Portugal, have a daughter aged 14 who asked me to ask you a shirt of Vogue Knitting, however, this is not sold in Portugal. As seen it has and if not asking too much, asked him if it was as possible for me to email the layout of the shirt the model it suggests, is green with hood and braids
Now thank
