A successful Friday

[eumelia]

Another week went by and indeed another Friday, one of the coldest, but rather satisfying.

I finally got to the Yarn shop on Chestnut Hill (a very nice neighborhood near Mt. Airy, where I'm currently staying).
The shop was awesome, God so much variety... in everything!
They had balls of yarn, skeins and wraps (I think they're called), finally bought the circular needles I've been jonesing for the past month and began my HP scarf (Tami, it'll be done by next winter I promise :).
Got stitch markers and DPN's (double pointed needles, to make the booties) and the shop owner was no nice, one of those classic bald men with a car underfoot.
He was very sweet and helpful and was very interested in the (lack of) variety in Israel, since he caught the fact that I was Israeli and he himself was Jewish... knits his own כיפות for God's sake.
So it was good.


Went to Borders books and bought a DC comic book with Batman and Superman, oh how I love the Bats... Supes is okay... in a boy scout kind of way. I love the interaction and dichotomy in those two, it's amazing how different their approach is and still how successful they are as superheroes.
Batman in probably the only reason I prefer DC to Marvel (okay and Vertigo is better, but they're practically independent from DC anyway).
Oh to be a superhero... but being a Mutant is better.

Batman is human and he's better than all of them.

Actually it's not, the one you tald me about is in center city (Philly down town area).
This one is in a very nice neighborhood very close to the one my sister lives in.
It's huge and so muvh variety, unfortinately the yarn is quite expensive, so were the needles, but they're supposed to be expensive so that's okay.

KnitPicks.com is a great website. Check it out!

oh, ok. i don't know philly at all. only been there twice and for short periods of time. little yarn stores like that tend to be quite expensive. you might want to see if there's a michaels or a.c. moore out in the 'burbs. much cheaper, although the quality does go down.

thanks for the suggestion. *goes to check it out*
