Knitters!

I do not knit - I would love to learn how, but I do not know how. (my grandma tried once, like 10 years ago, I tried, I really did.)

However! My sister does knit!! And she is going to knit this for me - Boo! The Bat! I just need to buy her the pattern and send her enough materials to make some for me and my niece.

SO. We have no knitting shops around here an no place to buy yarn other than Michaels.

I already bought the pattern and here is the yarn it calls for: worsted weight wool yarn, such as Cascade 220, in two colors, plus small amount of white. So where would one find nice yarn on the internets for a good price?

My sister already made this for me and it turned out AWESOME!

*pssst*

There's a hidden yarn shop up here in Pike Creek that, apparently, sells the really good stuff.

Stitches With Style

It's up by Zingo's and McGlynn's in the Polly Drummond Shopping Center.

ETA: Looks like they carry Cascade, too.

I'm not exactly good when you get past Wilmington, and North Wilmington. :-) I've only lived here three years. :-)

Also, they totally teach people how to knit! I think I might have to learn! Thank you!

It's all good - Thank you so much!! I sent my sister like 10 links suggesting colors. And the prices!! I think I'm going to go with the knitpicks stuff - the price is good and I love the colors. I'm going a medium blue, daffodil, and the jalapeno green with grey wings!! :-)

[livejournal.com profile] witchofthedogs pointed me to a knitting shop nearby and I think I need to learn how to knit - it might be a great to reduce stress.

Thank you!!!

It's about 2 minutes from my house, so we could always meet up closer to the city and I could take you up there...
