circle of friends

The boys and I made it out to Circles knitting salon in Jamaica Plain for the Friday afternoon moms & kids knitting circle. The boys played in the playroom while I fondled all the yarns and asked myself why it had been so long since I'd been here. I was again very tempted by the awesome selection of Karabella yarns. And there was also the beautiful green Tahki Soho yarn that fellow Knitsmith Colleen is working with right now. But I ended up with one giant skein of Brown Sheep's Burly Spun yarn in black.


maybe a purse, maybe the beginnings of a sweater?

I have to thank Kate and Susan for getting me back over to Circles again. Kate was visiting Boston and she and Susan were doing a yarn crawl through all the various local stores and invited me to come along. I had such fun chatting and shopping with them, that I almost forgot about the kids' swim class! Great yarn, good knitbuddies, bad mommy.

I've often picked up the Burlyspun when I see it at a yarn shop then I end up putting it back because I never know what to do with it. What are you going to make with it?

I LOVE Circles-I only wish a shop that was soooo kid friendly existed when my girls were small-but since my daughter goes to northeastern ,I do end up at Circles anyway.
I think I bought out their blues in burlyspun last month-I am making the bulky sweater from Weekend Knitting-I sub. the burlyspun for the morehouse merino it called for. I also added in 2 variegated skiens for interest(had to-didn't have enough solid in stock).
I think this weekend circles is celebrating their 1st year in business-I HOPE that they will have many more......

Moms need time too (happy mom, happy kids) - plus the boys probably had a great time playing w/the other kids!
