Wool Co. – Bandon, OR

I’ve been waiting to write this post because I wanted to take pictures of my new acquisitions in Bandon.

Back during Spring Break, Anthony and I went on a trip to Bandon, OR to hang out on the coast. We had a great weekend. Of course I found the local knit shop and I made a killing! The were having a store wide sale and it’s a miracle I didn’t walk out with more. Here are some of the things I got.

I got this to work on my first lace weight/lace project. I found a pattern, it doesn’t look easy, but when have ever been one to start with the easy stuff.

This picture doesn’t really show the color accurately. It’s a deep maroon color. It already being used for something I’m giving my mom. I can’t say anything though until it gets to her. Wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise.

The best is this;

This is to attempt my first dye project. I haven’t picked out colors yet (I’m going to go out and buy some real dyes, no kool-aid this time). I’m almost done spinning my first roving. It’s turned out great. I will definitely have enough for a scarf with my first one. This one is a whole lb, so I could even do two different color ways, or go for masses of handmade yarn. Wahahahaha.

I’m done showing off. I have to go knit up my second sock.
