new shop in town.

So........ I was driving back from lunch with some co-workers the other day and I spied a new yarn shop opening up down the street from work. Now this very good and very bad for two reasons.

1. Even if they have completely unreasonable hours and close right at 5, I can still go shop there at lunch. (Good)
2. Even if they have completely unreasonable hours and close right at 5, I can still go shop there at lunch. (Bad)

This might mean I spend more lunches out, but I will probably be spending money on yarn. What if I can take a class there? Now that would be awesome.

The shop is called Knit Purl and it's located right next to BullFinch restaurant on Boston Post Road in Sudbury. The only thing I've found about them online is that their phone number is 978-443-9054. I am tempted to call and ask when they will open because I want to be there the first day. Is that sad? I am a sick sick knitter.

**UPDATE: I found more info on another website. Knit Purl, 730 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, MA  01776, ph. 978-758-8798. Like a psycho, I just called them to ask when they will open. She was totally shocked that I had found their number! Anyway, they will be opening in mid-March. I might send this info to Martha Spizziri too so she can include them on her list of stores.**

For those who care, if you are in the Boston area, I highly recommend going to The Knitting Room in Arlington. I've found them to be my favourite yarn shop in the area. They aren't big, they don't have the best selection, but the lady who works there is pretty helpful, and you don't feel pressured to buy anything or to hurry up and decide on what you want. I'm even tempted to take a class or two there, and I've never taken a knitting class before!

I went to Whole Foods last night on my way home from work. I decided to buy maybe one or two chocolate bars and a loaf of bread. Instead, I left with about not only four bars of chocolate, but one boxed set as well. Yes. That's the last time I go to the store hungry before dinner looking for chocolates.

The greatest thing was that the boxed V-day chocolates were half off. I got this lovely box of Lake Champlain chocolates with various fillings. You can click through to see what each one is flavoured. I had a couple of these last night and they were very good. Mmm... I sure love chocolates filled with caramels or chocolate cream. Yum! I don't know if they distribute Lake Champlain chocolates outside New England, but you should try them if you see them. Nothing super mind-blowing, but pretty damned good. I like maple syrup in my chocos.

Oh! I dyed some yarn last night. The colours came out deep and dark, which is kinda nice. I can't get those colours with kool-aid! I'll take a photo tonight if they're dry.

Thank you everyone for commenting with your name and location! I knew a lot of you already, but some I really had no clue! I am compiling a list to help me remember and to stalk you all. Just kidding. I'm far too lazy for stalking.

I thought Martha quit doing the list? Did she come back and I didn't hear about it?

One of these years when we go leaf peeping we're going to make it up far enough to visit that Lake Champlain's chocolates, now I bet that's a good factory tour! Yum!
