Laowai

Last week I went yarn shopping with a couple friends. We went to an amazingly large yarn store that is about an hour's drive away. I got carried away taking photos of the beautiful bright yarns. I had the same feeling I get when I see beautiful flowers and I just must take a picture… or twenty. Even though these bright colors were drawing me in, I'm not sure if I would knit something with them. When the color changing yarn is knit up it sometimes looks too jumbled to me. I had some surprising restraint and bought only a few skeins for a couple small projects. 

This yarn looks like zopf.

I'm spoiled by this yarn store. So much selection! We lose our minds a little when we go – we wander around stroking all the yarns and chatting non-stop about all the projects on display. So fun!
