We went over to Charley’s so Arlene could plant bulbs in his yard. I went over to Mind’s Eye Yarns<\/a> in the meantime. It’s in Porter Square, Cambridge, only a couple of miles from Charley’s place near Teele Square, Somerville. I’ve met the people from there a couple of times, at Gore Place and the Knit-Out on the common a few weeks ago, and have wanted to see it. It’s two smallish rooms with nothing but really nice (people and) stuff — gorgeous yarns and roving, because it seems to be the area’s best source of spinning supplies and equipment. Patience<\/a> was there, six rounds away from Kitchenering the toe of a sock. She’s entitled to put a more flattering picture on her blog — she’s way cuter than I remember her from the Knit-Out. She’s really knowledgable about knitting, too. I asked if they had Knitting for Anarchists<\/u> and she said they didn’t, but I might check in the bookstore across the parking lot, but she doubted they’d have it — she didn’t think it was out of print, but it was a couple of years old and they probably wouldn’t have it on the shelf. I mean, that’s keeping track of things!<\/p>\n

Oh, why sock yarn? My real reason for going was to see what the place was like and what spinning supplies they had (spindles, lots of niddy-noddies, roving in lots of colors and fiber combinations), but the excuse was to buy some of the solid-color Regia sock yarn that they had recently got in. I bought two balls each of brown 4-fadig and grey stretch.<\/p>\n

I’m making serious progress on Charley’s sweater. I think there’s a good chance it’ll be done inside a week.\n<\/p>\n
