I received an email a couple of months ago from my local yarn shop, Knitting in the Loop.
Apparently they had come to their senses and would be closing up shop as of May 20th. I am sad, for now the closest shops I have to choose from is the disorganized crazy lady shop (that is actually open on Monday) where apparently she decides how much you pay for yarn based on her opinion of you, or the one that's 45 minutes away in a cute shop with lovely people that is closed on Monday (my day off) and not open late ever. Boo.
So I am off to drop off some forms for the doctor to sign to send Middle to camp this summer, and then I will go by and see if there's any yarn left to buy. Or maybe some books. Or more needles! Gadgets! Hopefully for me, I will like nothing.
I finished Smallest's leg warmers (surprise project!) while she was having a coaching session yesterday with a much respected dancer. She had a blast. I am glad I have leftover yarn for these (originally two pairs were planned) because Smallest is getting ready to grow. She won't pass Middle, who is officially now 5 ft, 7 3/4 in, but she may catch up to me. We will see!
I have to crochet a little on them, and tuck in the ends and then I'll post a picture. Smallest loves them already.
I'm going to guess they were about four or five hours to make? Just spread out over a while.
Oh, but we're in a new quarter, so we have to restart the count?
5 hours total for me then. Probably more from working on the bug, but who knows.
