Wave Scarf

Pattern: Wave scarf (a pattern-with-purchase at my LYS)
Yarn: Koigu, 2 skeins

Yet another yarn I just love! If I can get my hands on a turquoise version of this yarn I'll be making another scarf.

The wave stitch really brings out the beautiful watercolor colors of this amazing yarn. I steam blocked the scarf as I went.

Now, I feel the need to rave about All About Yarn, my favorite LYS located in a north Minneapolis suburb. Maybe my need is greater at the moment because I haven't found anything close to my beloved yarn store since I moved back to Denver.

I loved All About Yarn because the owners took the time to get to know their customers. I was on a first-name basis with them. They didn't cringe when my boys came in with me. They always had a great selection of yarns, knitting accessories and a good selection of pattern books. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. But, this store does one thing far better than any other store I've been to - they have tons of small, cute projects made up throughout the store - and they're always adding new ones. This is a brilliant approach! You walk in the store and get inspired to make all sorts of projects. And, since the projects are small, aren't too difficult or too time consuming those knitters will be back soon to make another project, and another project. Sigh - If only I could find an All About Yarn here!
