Not making any friends at the LYS

Yesterday I went to one of my LYS -- I had never been there, and I got a message from my Yahoo! group that they were having a sale, so I thought I would check it out!

Things were going great, I found a wonderful yarn (Cascade Cherub Aran) to make the Placket-Neck Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, and it was 25% off!! Then it happened....

I was standing in line to pay, and the lady behind me had a basket full of yarn. She turned to the employee/teacher she was working with and said, "so if I have any questions about the bobbles, I can ask you, right? I'll make sure to do my homework first." I turned and made a comment to the tune of, "oh, bobbles, THOSE are fun!"

I couldn't help it - I made a blanket for the kidlet that had so many bobbles, and they are truthfully a PITA. Unless there is a way that you can work them without turning your work around 5 times, I stand by my comment.

The employee was NOT happy with me. She kept telling the lady, "they're fine, you'll be fine". I tried to backtrack, since she was glaring at me, but it was hard. I guess next time I'll just keep my mouth shut.

I should have asked her if she knew a way to work them without turning the work.......

2006 FO #2&3 - "Love" Dishcloths

When did you start? January 30th, 2006
When did you finish this? January 31st, 2006

What is it? Love Dishcloth from Knittingknonsense.com, and a pattern I created myself
What needles did you use? Size 9 aluminum needles
What kind of yarn is that? Sugar & Cream yarn in
Who's it for? One is for my secret pal, one is for me

Anything else? I rewrote the pattern to make it look a little different. I'm still not sure. After washing, they curled up badly -- the pattern as written fared better -- with my adjusted pattern, it really has to be blocked, or it looks funny.

Still, very easy and quick project -- I finished something!
