Just wanted to make a

Just wanted to make a quick post today to say nice things about the folks at Arcadia Knitting Arcadia Knitting.

My bulky sweater project (Design 11 in the Cleckheaton Gusto 10 leaflet #905) doesn't seem to have the right amount of yarn listed for the contrasting color on the sweater. Not only did they answer my email and set a skein aside for me to pick up when I can, they were also concerned about the pattern's specs. (The sweater is knitting to exactly the gauge and size described in the pattern so I was a little surprised to get midway through the project and realize that there wasn't going to be enough of the contrasting color).

I haven't yet adopted a Chicago knitting store as my "favorite" yet, but after getting a lot of help last Saturday picking out yarns and colors and getting a good intro to Bulky yarns, Arcadia is rapidly moving into that role.

Hmmmm...I guess I should get back to working on my master's thesis project....will write more about it later. Suffice it to say that it is a challenge to convince myself to write code when I have a sweater that I am dying to finish!
