Ohiogozaimasu Habu!
So, I'm not knitting. However, that doesn't mean I can't buy fiber, right?
Right?
Today was Mike's birthday (isn't that convenient? We essentially have three days of non-stop celebration) and I took him into the city to visit his favorite gaming store, Compleat Strategist. It's in midtown on 33rd street. Only a short walk from Habu and Schoolhouse Products. I brought along my just-received copy of Interweave Knits to see if I can pick up some yarn for the sweater vest.
Alas, there wasn't anything to my liking at Schoolhouse that would make an appropriate substitute. However, I did find something to love at Habu:
It's a fringe tape ribbon choker crochet kit. Their fringe tape is amazing and, combining it with a feather yarn and a fuzzy yarn, it makes the most unusual thin "boa". I can imagine wearing it with a very plain black or brown dress, the choker becoming the conversation piece for the outfit. So, I had to get it. Mike splurged today at the comic place and we had some delicious pizza and a walk in the Village for dinner.
My thumbs still hurt, but they appear to be healing quickly. Thank goodness for small favors!
