My good friend Pirkko (in the orange sweater) and I made a trek through the snow today to Lens Mills in Cambridge. It was snowing quite heavily en route, and despite a few wrong turns (as is the tradition when we go there), Pirkko’s wonderful husband Hector navigated beautifully while Pirkko and I nattered on about knitting and crocheting.
Pirkko bought some nice yarn to work into a sweater, and we stopped at a few Tim Hortons’ along the way. I decided to buy some Bernat yarn (ok, so it was 8 8oz balls, but it was hugely discounted!) to make a ghan that I owe someone. I also picked up some mohair roving for $4 a bag! More thrum mittens in the near future I think
