Sisterly Knitting

This weekend I taught my sister how to knit. She has begun two small beginner projects (a tank and a little handbag) as a result and is completely addicted. Woohoo!!

We visited two knit shops in Atlanta and had a blast. I bought some Rowan Linen Drape on sale for almost 1/2 off. Enough to make a sleeveless or short sleeve tank and best of all it’s white so it will match with anything. I also got a skein of Jitterbug, a few balls of Kureyon to make another Booga Bag and I got some really gorgeous sox stix in rosewood. Was going to do magic loop for my Jaywalkers, but I might have to use my pretty stix instead. :)

The two shops we visited were so different. One had a lot of novelty yarns and Berroco but also a few good classics like Debbie Bliss and some Rowan. The other one had no novelty yarn (which was great) and had yarns that aren’t as easy to find like Claudia Handpainted, Malabrigo, Blue Sky Alpaca and Artyarns. They also had a lot of Addi’s in stock and I got an Addi lace (47″) to make dad’s socks on magic loop. I really enjoyed both stores. The owners were really friendly and helpful and I’ll definitely be going back next time I’m up visiting my sis.
