Trip to the yarn shop - Part 2

Posted on July 13, 2007

Here are some Pony yarn bobbins. As i’m doing intarsia for my kids clothes, these will come in handy as i only need to wind the required amount of yarn onto them instead of twisting large balls all the way. Half the time, they get all tangled up and i waste lots of precious time untangling them.

Also picked up a packet of these Clover rubber point protectors for my finer knitting needles. I have some for the bigger needles but not for my finer ones like 3mm and below. I tried them on and they fit perfectly.

And last of all, three pencil-shaped buttons to replace the ones i removed from Gordon’s vest for use on Malcolm’s Birthday Tee. You see, i bought for him two buttons but found that i needed three. What to do…. get from his Korkor’s lohh.

So, today’s shopping bill came up to around Rm400. I still have to get hubby’s yarn on my next trip there. No time today as he was waiting outside in the car with the kids. He’ll rant if i stay there too long…. MEN…..
