Red! With Sparkles!
Tonight, I went to NYC to have dinner with Sara and hopefully see Troy. We were unable to go to Penang (the location has mysteriously poofed from Third Avenue), so we opted for the Blue Nine Burger Joint. It was fast, cheap, and quite tasty: a burger and chocolate shake! That only took us about 45 minutes, so we walked to KnitNY and took a gander at the lovely yarn. I told Sara that I'd love to knit something for her, since her birthday is coming up. She spent some time deciding between a number of different yarns, but then I pointed out a pretty good combination.
The photograph doesn't do it justice. The yarn on the right is the main yarn: Great Adirondack Yarn Company Merino Superwash in Candy Apple 322. The yarn on the left is the "fun" yarn: Knit One Crochet Too The Gourmet Collection Spinkles in Red. The fun yarn has lovely sparkly bits you can't see well in the photograph. Knitting with them together won't change gauge, I think. I'll knit a 13 stitch wide seed stitch scarf. It will make a lovely red scarf that will be soft yet warm and fun for Sara.
Alas, we didn't get to see Troy: too many people showed up to the screening. Instead, we watched Mean Girls, which was biting and funny. I spent the time in the dark knitting my PoA Scarf. I hope that our Thursday screening of Van Helsing turns out better.
