Sarah Jane's Yarn Shoppe

Well my man and I made it over to Fort Wayne's second, yes that's right, second yarn store on their opening day! I forgot my camera but had my cell phone to snap some pics:

Me in the front of the store :)

Noro!

The fiance looking for some yarn to make himself a hat...

Yummy goodies they had out on their grand opening day:
Nice fireplace and seating area!

Cute decor all around...



All in all I really like it... very comfortable and friendly, bright and well lit, good selection, and I really like the fact that it is super close to my house!!!!!!

Hope anyone else out there reading this in Fort Wayne gets on over to check it out!

An Epic Friday

Today is an especially awesome Friday.... because today I cast off not ONE but TWO PROJECTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. I am sure some of you naturally amazing knitters this happens all the time, but for me... its quite rare ;-)

My Fabulous Friday FOs (FFFOs) are:


1. Quant!!!! I still need to block it but I think it looks pretty cool. The entrelac was fun after I got the hang of it, and the Patons SWS did all the hard work with the colors!

Thanks to Designated Knitter for taking the pics ;-)

2. Baby blanket half! My co-blanket knitter finished her half today, so it inspired me to finish my half. Now we just need to have a sewing up party and it will be a soft and beautiful present for my little nephew!



Hope everyone else had a great friday ;-)

Entrelicious

I cast on for a Quant!


It is my first attempt at knitting entrelac.... I must say it was a rough start (note to self: do not skip entire sections), but I think I am getting the hang of it!!!! The Patons SWS I am using is turning out beautifully! I am glad i chose to use it.

Happy weekend everyone :)
