I think knitting books come in a strong second...

after my yarn habit. I don't have time for pictures right now because I spent most of my day running around town doing errands and then had a meeting for the parent volunteer group at school, but boy did I score today at Hobby Lobby! I went to get some Caron Felt-It with a 40% off coupon since I decided I wanted to try to make these cute felted bags as teacher gifts this year (I better get crackin', I'll have to make five!). I have three skeins of Kureyon in my stash, but I wanted to save it for a project for myself (exactly what, I don't know, but anyway...) so I thought I'd try it out on the Felt-It. I scoped out the magazine and book rack they have now at the front of the store, but didn't see anything new, but after getting the yarn, I went by the racks of all the fiber/needle related pattern books, and a couple clearance stickers caught my eye. I got The Sock Calendar, originally marked $18.00 for $3.89, and Lavish Lace, originally marked $22.95 for just $4.96. I mean how could I resist? Can you blame me?

I also stopped by the library again to return the books from before, and get a few more. They had the new Tracey Ullman knitting book and a few more, but my stack was definitely smaller than last time. I also have Itty Bitty Hats on request too, but it wasn't in at the time.

Pictures tomorrow. Maybe recipes too! I had to bring a couple dozen cookies for my meeting (they get divvied up among some of the school staff from us parent volunteers) and I'll share my recipes.

you totally scored at hobby lobby, I am jealous and am heading there tomorrow hoping you left me some morsels. Those bags are so cute and look like they take some time! I'm giving soap and lotion as teacher gifts. I'm too selfish of knit time to give knitted things to teachers. Let me know if the knit group finds a new home, I'd love to come.
