Yarn Porn

Last week I decided to take a trip to a yarn store just to look around. Sure, Joann Fabric is a store that sells yarn but it offers nothing compared to these small local boutiques that supply hand dyed, home spun, and luxury yarns.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at my stash of acrylic the same way again when just 3 minutes of browsing hand dyed yarns on Etsy leaves my mouth watering.

I'm going to have to learn how to dye my own yarn one day. Perhaps I should concentrate on learning how to knit first though. Currently I'm working on a larger project turning this hideous scarf that I started about a year ago and never finished into a decent looking bag. I'm doing the entire thing in garter stitch but other skills needed for this project include color change and making a button hole. I'll be sure to post the results, hopefully within the next few days, since I'm getting kind of sick of knitting this project and want to move on to something a little more interesting.
