Knit Happened. With a Vengeance!
So I made it to Knit Happens on Wednesday in time for a delivery. I got to watch Kristine and Holly have fun.
I said it must be fun to work there since every time the UPS man arrives, it's sort of like Christmas. Especially when things like this come out of one of the boxes:
Those are poncho kits from Alchemy. I love love love the yarn but wasn't so crazed about the pattern they have with them. I know, I know, I could have made up my own pattern, but since I already have a pile of Alchemy Synchronicity sitting here in the process of being made into a sweater, I figured that I should buy something different... and of course, being a Colinette whore, I found this:
That's Zanziba in Florentina and Giotto in Fresco. I'm making a poncho for my sister. Yes, the same poncho that I already bought other yarn (twice) for. But this is so pretty! (And nice to knit, and looks so nice in the drop-stitch pattern I started...)
And Kristine was on the phone with Debbie Bliss while I was there, so I got to have her say hi to DB from me, which was cool... and Kristine showed me some cool things.
All in all? I have to say that Knit Happens is a highly recommended LYS. Plus they have a great Greek cafe just down the block so you can stay and knit all day without expiring from hunger. And for those of you from out of town, note that it's only two Metro stops from National Airport!
