Yesterday we took a trip up to VT to do a bit of shopping in Brattleboro. There aren't many fiber things happening on Sunday, as Brattleboro's only yarn store is closed on Sundays (which seems to be the *only* day we get up there!). However, I did get to stop in at Green Mountain Spinnery to check out the latest yarn offerings. Mountain Mohair has been mentioned as a nice yarn for Rogue. So I check it out. And the Spinnery even has a slight sale going on; something like 5% off the yarn. But even at $11.15 per skein for selected colors, that makes Rogue into a sweater costing $129. Too rich for my blood at this time. So I think I'll stick to swatching using the Valley Yarns Berkshire and the Cascade 220 for now.
Now I'm off. I have a busy day ahead, with 4 different appointments between 9 and 3 today. What on earth possessed me to set up so much stuff for one day???
