Party at the LYS

On Thursday I stopped over to my favorite LYS, Close Knits in HoHoKus, New Jersey. They had an anniversary party sort of. I had a fun time chatting it up with other yarn zealots. I also had fun learning about a new yarn to make this scarf -

It's a tape yarn that comes out ruffled after you do this strange technique. Silly me forgot to write down the name of the yarn. I tell you what, the first person to identify it, I'll send you 2 skeins! I think all it takes is 1 or 2 skeins to make the scarf but the kicker is you don't just knit it, you jab your needle into the tape yarn and pull it through, very weird. Here's one of the owner's demonstrating it




I am giving this thing a try but I think my brain and my hands are arguing about what to do...

I caught one of my knitting buddies checking out some glitterati yarn, some of us know just what we want -


I tried to limit the wine and cheese goodies. Wine, yarn and checkbooks don't mix!
