Walmart and Micheals stink!
Well okay so first I stopped at Walmart, no double pointed knitting needles and no sock yarn. I expected them to have atleast 1 full row (2 sides) but no it was just 1 side.
Then I went to Micheals, which you know of course I don't like anways. They have some Boyle double pointed and they only had size 3 and 6. I couldn't find any sock yarn. How did knitters survive before the internet?? The REASON knitting has become more popular again is because people actualy can GET the TOOLS they need and the YARN they need. THEY COULDNT BEFORE!!
So yeah I got diddly, but when I came hoome I was suprised to see the "Mission Falls - In Living Color" pattern book has arrived! /taps her foot while waiting for the yarn. So well yes now I get to wait, but the pattern is soooo simple. Really nice. I think I'll be brave and try out the XS which is 34 inches which is normally a small for most of the patterns I have seen.
So yeah, sucks that the yarn store closes at 5 so I have no way to buy yarn anymore. I used to buy iot in class which was after the store closed.

Yeah, Walmart and Michaels suck for that sort of thing. Gotta hit up a yarn store or the internet! If your store closes at 5, maybe take a long lunch one day to shop...? I hate that some yarn stores close so early, and don't keep longer hours at least some days during the week. It's like they forget that there are those of us that, oh, I don't know, work all day. Pfff.

Yeah my only other time I try to go is saturdays because my college is halfway inbetween my home and the store. But that involved my man coming with me and while it's nice for him to come once in a while I like to shop without pressure of him being bored!
