yesterday, one of my two local yarn stores, Noe Knit closed their doors for good.
i rushed over there to meet Hilary on Monday evening, intending only to buy some circular needles and check out their shelving units; i thought it would be cool to furnish my new craft room with shelves and yarn baskets from an actual yarn store.
i valiantly resisted buying any yarn — until i found myself at the counter. really, that was just not the time to say no to the very last two skeins of Lorna's Lace Shepherd Sock in "Parry Hotter" colourway, exclusively dyed just for Noe Knit. i bought them. they will become armwarmers to wear to the next movie.
Lorna's Lace Shepherd Sock in Gryffindor House colors and size 7 circular needles.
the shop will definitely be missed. it was such a wonderful luxury to have a local yarn store that was open after 6PM; i could always depend on them to have what i wanted when i absolutely could not wait another day (or until the weekend), whether it was a skein of yarn to complete a project or a pair of needles to replace one that had just snapped in half.
...soon, i will be moving to Bernal Heights; there is not a single yarn shop in the neighborhood — hint. hint.

Well, I'll give you a ride to Imagiknit any time once we're neighbors! I'm so happy you met me @ Noe Knit...but so bummed to see them go. :(

Yes, Bernal needs a yarn shop! We even have the perfect intersection for it: Cortland & Wool.
