Last week I happened to be near Loopy Yarns on south State street, so naturally I had to go in. I wasn't intending to buy anything; my intention was merely to browse. Well, you know how that goes. I came out with 940 yards of lace weight yarn from Malabrigo.
I haven't decided what to make yet. There are several possibilities in Jane Sowerby's "Victorian Lace Today," but I can't settle on one. However, before I even start a project with this, I need to use that linen yarn I bought and make myself a market bag already. I've been going to farmers' markets for weeks now and am feeling very guilty for all the plastic bags I've been accumulating as a result. I do re-use the bags as much as possible, but I feel that I shouldn't be supporting the use of bags made of petrochemicals when I could easily knit an eco-friendly linen bag. OK, that's my project for the weekend--after the Lucy Neatby workshop tomorrow, of course.
