In search for the perfect yarn.

So I am still obsessing. I have so far found the perfect needles. They are the HiyaHiya Sharp. After much looking into and asking Reddit because who else has this kind of information I decided these were the best. They are sharp and durable which is really all I need right now.

The yarn and the beads have proved to be a bit more difficult I am still looking online. I am just a little intimidated about buying yarn measured in kilometres without touching it before hand. In order to do some touching I remembered there is a silk studio at Granville Island so I will be going there next saturday to see what they have prices and to then decide on what is what.

Why next week if I have nothing to do this week? Because I want to tell my mom before I make any decisions because I feel like I am actively lying to her when I talk to her on Skype and can't rant about my obsession and ask for suggestions. My mom is also a ridiculous a great source of knowledge. Not exactly about knitting but of things and it really hurts to not be able to share this. I have it under good authority that is about 3 weeks I will be able to tell so I am stalling till then.

 So in order to stop obsessing for a while/ to stall I am knitting this shawl which is hopefully going to be done and blocked by the time friday night comes.
