Chit Chat
Kimberly discusses her trip to Toronto. After seeing the film What If, she really wanted to visit The Purple Purl. However, she was not able to get there but did find the Americo Original yarn store. They had many beautiful yarns and you can order online as well.

Double Deco Shawl by Leah Coccari-Swift in Lady Dye Yarns Superwash Merino and Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted as part of the Double Deco KAL hosted by Ewe Ewe Yarns. And we were wrong, the Double Deco KAL actually ends November 11.
Both Thuy and Kimberly won prizes in the Double Deco KAL! Woohoo! Kimberly won two patterns - the Volcano Cowl and the Melt Slouch Hat, both by Leah Coccari-Swift. Thuy won 3 skeins of Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted in Pistachio to make the Cloudy With a Chance of Weather Scarf.
