posted by cara on february 7, 2005Those boys are so cute. You've sure got them trained. I loved that hat/scarf set too. They never have the good colors of landscapes at my store though.
posted by Vicki on february 7, 2005S is correct. might as well call it the "crack" store since i can never leave AC Moore without buying something... doesn't matter what it is
posted by maryse on february 7, 2005I love the colors in the Landscape yarn. What fiber content is it? I'll have to check it out.
posted by Elizabeth on february 7, 2005Libby's pattern is really great. Have fun!
posted by Heidi on february 7, 2005hahahaha, I just love the crap vs. crack debate...and I see it lives on! ^_^
posted by tania on february 7, 2005You are a bad, bad woman to show that Landscapes yarn and to get me thinking about buying some. Also, the crack/crap thing makes me giggle each time I read it. Your boys are adorable.
posted by LeAnne on february 7, 2005crap and crack- I love it! Kids they make you giggle :)
posted by stinkerbell on february 7, 2005I have two boys as well (6 and 2) who would not be so well behaved at the crafts store. I'm pretty sure they would be tossing balls of yarn or pulling them apart! Your boys are very cute!
Do you live in Boston? I live in Roslindale.

posted by Kathy on february 7, 2005Hey Alison! I have some pictures of my sock-in-progress on my site.
Sigh. Now I want to go to the crack store and get some crap too.
posted by Nicole on february 7, 2005Alison? I'm being a good little Fixer Upper, but now all my other yarn is getting antsy and jealous! Maybe to help us (read: me) get through a long month of tough love for our old projects, we should have a goal, like making March 1 a day of frivolous knitting or yarn shopping or something, a congratualations to ourselves.
posted by Nadia on february 7, 2005ah... yarn shopping with little ones, I can't believe you did so well with two of them. Much practice I suppose.
posted by jo on february 7, 2005My daughter sat down on the couch next to me the other night and said "I want to craps too, Mommy." Things to torment them with when they're teens.
posted by Susie on february 7, 2005am i seeing a pop culture reference to the "OC" (AC?)...i just got season 1 on DVD...let me know if you want to borrow it (or let me know if you're horrified to find out that i watch it). i went to circles yesterday and got enough jaeger merino for 2 adult or 3 kid's sweaters...went from 3-4 during the 40% off time period...it was wild...
posted by lisa b on february 7, 2005Thanks for pointing out the cloche and scarf patterns- I think I need a set. We used to have fun with our daughter before she learned to say "tr"uck correctly....
posted by Michelle on february 7, 2005Gotta love a skein of yarn bigger than your head!
posted by juliafc on february 7, 2005Landscapes is 50% wool, 50% acrylic. I really like the brown colorways, but I think mom will like this rainbow one better.
I don't have a problem taking the boys to the craft store. It so much more relaxed there than in a regular yarn store, so I don't worry about them picking up skeins and and carrying them around a bit. And they do love the giant skeins. Like you say, Julia, who wouldn't love a ball of yarn bigger than their head!
Possible progress on the crap/crack debate: S. just referred the the contraption we saw at the Childrens Museum as a "craption". :)
posted by alison on february 8, 2005i think that is the same yarn that Georgia used on her site for a small rag bag she designed- you should check it out
