Yarn store heaven!
While running errands today I stopped by Violet’s new store, Frog Pond Knits, which opened yesterday. Look what I happened across… Bryspun circular needles!

Woohoo! Just last weekend I called every knitting store in the Sacramento area to try to find these, with no luck. I bought the 29″ length in sizes 5-9, which I figured are probably the most common sizes for lace knitting. I also bought the Fiber Trends Leaf Lace Shawl pattern and some laceweight yarn to knit it. Not sure when I’ll get started on that, but knowing myself and my lack of restraint when it comes to yarn and new projects, it will probably be soon!
I’m nearing completion of Tivoli… only about 5 rounds left to knit. I’ll finish and block it tonight and try to post some pictures tomorrow. What a fast, fun project!
I took some pictures of various flowers and bees in my garden yesterday and put them up on Flikr. Click the picture for a slideshow.
