She took me to a fabulous yarn shop.  I think she has gotten me hooked on knitting.  We picked up some large needles, some small needles and some wonderful yarn.  The blue is a fat yarn requiring size 10.5 needles.  I'm hoping I can learn to do a monmouth cap with that yarn but I need to get some double-pointed needles first.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The red is a nice weight for socks, but I'm hoping to knit a miser's purse with it.  My friend copied out some directions for me.  Obviously I need to learn to knit in the round first.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What fun trip!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20534641-4772133866981829601?l=eleanorscloset.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eleanorscloset.blogspot.com/feeds/4772133866981829601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20534641&amp;postID=4772133866981829601' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20534641/posts/default/4772133866981829601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20534641/posts/default/4772133866981829601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eleanorscloset.blogspot.com/2007/02/yarn-foo.html' title='Yarn-Foo'/><author><name>Sandy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11747588087216356486</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13270323216933970335'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AUFJ33Gn3PI/RdHzFY-BY3I/AAAAAAAAACI/1ezdT6gXe5o/s72-c/Yarn-Foo.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry>
