I've Found an LYS!

Woohooo! I just learned that there is an LYS very near to where I teach! WOOT! This is terrible news for my budget, but wonderful news for me!

I have found a pattern for socks using 3 DPs. So, tomorrow I am going to the LYS to get some nice sock yarn. I am not at all pleased with Hobby Lobby. Not to mention that I can't even find anything in there. The way they have their yarn set up is horrid. I'm not even sure they have someone setting up the shelves that knows what they're doing.

The yarn I am thinking of is what they pattern creator suggests. She originally suggested either a worsted weight or a blend of wool/acrylic. Then, she came back and suggested sock weight yarn, 75% wool/25% nylon blend, on 2.25 mm needles for a gauge of 9 stitches per inch.

So, either one of these will be great. I'd sort of like to be able to wear these socks in cooler spring weather, so wool seems a bit much to me, but maybe it won't be. I will speak with the LYS owner about her recommendations after I show her the pattern. Of course, she will know as soon as I walk in that I'm a total novice and totally unsure about what I'm doing, but I don't care. I might also scam to see if she offers any classes. That would be so fun!

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing fine and knitting right along!
