Beads!
One of the things I love about Florida? The bead stores! One of Ithaca's only drawbacks is it's lack of a beading store. Whenever I travel, along with visiting yarn stores, I always hit a bead store or three!
Yesterday I dragged 3 generations of Nelkins to Boca Beads... my mom patiently sat and chatted with some ladies at the main table (it felt surprisingly like a knitting store in this regard) as the girl and I roamed the aisles. Boca Beads has a GREAT selection of size 6 and 8 beads and I "did some damage" as they say!
Want to see?
One set of beads I got is for the next Mystery KAL I am planning for January.... my girl did some stringing for me last night and I stayed up a bit too late casting on. I am SO EXCITED for this design, I think it is going to knock your socks off. More information will be coming about the KAL in December!
That IS quite a haul! What're you doing in South Florida? You know I used to live in West Palm Beach...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your mystery KAL! I'm sure it's going to be gorgeous. :)
Guess I'm going to have to do some serious bead shopping.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement.
