now what?

Right before I left for Denver, I had finished my first real knitting project - my light teal poncho. I have already shared a picture of it on Facebook, but in case you didn't see it there - here it is again...


What I haven't told you yet is that when I was at the Oakland Airport on Thursday, two different women complimented my poncho - one while I was going through security and the other when I was standing in line to get on my plane! I can't tell you how great it felt for someone to acknowledge my hard work! Oh and by the way - I was able to get on the plane with knitting needles and a small pair of scissors in my carry on bag!

One of the fun things we did in Denver was to seek out a yarn store (I know - I'm a little obsessed), but JB and Causten had gotten me a gift certificate for yarn at the Lamb Shoppe for my birthday. What a beautiful store - so many beautiful yarns and patterns...here is what I selected...



Now I need to decide what to make. What do you think?

Wow! Good looking and gorgeous color!
Your getting on the plane with knitting needles and small scissors reminds me of a joke:

It's about the woman who was not allowed on the plane with her knitting needles. They were afraid she'd knit an afghan.
